________________________________________________________________________________________________ Roberts Bakery
Under the leadership of Mike, Julia, and Lyndsay Roberts( the fourth generation), the company began supplying Sainsbury’ s and expanding globally. Roberts’ bread began to be sold as far afield as Greece. Today, people can be found enjoying a Roberts loaf everywhere from the US to Japan. It has also embraced some interesting challenges – for example, the early 2000s saw the bakery smash the world record for the largest ever sandwich! The two-and-a-half-meter tuna sandwich was made using 260 kg slices of bread, which took four hours to bake in a 20-meter-long oven.
Robust relationships
More recently, the business has moved into three centers of excellence to accommodate its sustained growth. One focuses on bread; another produces specialty bread; and the third manufactures biscuits. Today, business is booming with customers around the globe and a comprehensive range of products that include specialty loaves, subs, sandwich thins, morning goods, and biscuits – everything from the classics to decorateyour-own kits and clusters.
