"Winning a Baking Industry Award has been an amazing achievement for all of us, from owners and management, bakers and front of house. The award is very special as it appreciates the input of all of the team. It felt so good to share the process from nomination to accepting the trophy on stage with our loyal customers who genuinely felt part of it. Seeing how happy they all were for us made it incredibly gratifying for many weeks after receiving the award."
