“We are delighted to be the UK’s number one branded bakery business for the first time,” commented Paul Baker, Founder of St Pierre Groupe. “We, like many businesses, have faced challenges over the past three months. However, with an entrepreneurial approach, combined with an adaptable supply chain and dedicated team, our business and brands have continued to thrive despite these unprecedented times.
“Demand for our brands grew phenomenally during lockdown, which we believe is due to consumers seeking out comforting, good quality, versatile, convenient and good value foods.”
As a result, St Pierre, Baker Street and Paul Hollywood are now all in the top five fastest growing large bakery brands in the UKi.
“Whilst restrictions are beginning to ease, we envisage the high demand for bread and bakery will continue and we look forward to being able to supply the nation’s households with quality bread and bakery products for years to come,” Baker added.
