Sales Director @Fosters Bakery Staincross Limited

In September 1959 the company was founded and a new bakery built. In 1971 the bakery was again bursting at the seams for capacity. That is when the bakery moved to its current location on Towngate, Mapplewell. This bakery was expanded in 1980 and again in 1990. In 1997 the company expanded yet again with the acquisition of another factory on the Mapplewell Industrial Park. In 2007 the company acquired another plot of land adjacent to the bakery and set out plans for a five year strategy to grow the company beyond the current £10 Million T/O.The company now has 5 bakers’ shops in Yorkshire but the main business is supplying food service and retail markets both fresh and frozen. Customers include major airlines, well known retail chains and caterers throughout Britain and Europe. Fosters Bakery produce on average one million products each week.
