A tradition of baking

Like his father and grandfather Percy started his working life in the family bakers in Hackney, East London along with his three brothers. The family worked endlessly to provide quality bread and cakes to the people of the East end. Having married his wife Lillian and already the proud father of son Derek in 1954 Percy decided the time was right to open his own business, starting with his first shop on Clarence Road, Hackney.

Percy built the company to over 40 shops by the early 1990's and in 2000 handed control to his son Derek, who after moving the company up to 49 shops handed the running of the company to his sons Paul and Michael in 2010.
