Consultants
We work with leading food consultants Raymond Blanc and Dean Brettschneider. They offer expert advice and assist us in developing innovative new bakery concepts.
Raymond Blanc
Raymond Blanc is acknowledged as one of the finest chefs in the world and his inspirational work has received awards both nationally and internationally. We are lucky enough to have been associated with him since 2000 - ever since he described our All-Butter Croissant as “the best I have tasted outside my own kitchens” in fact!
