John Dwyer Bakery Ltd

General information

John and Jackie Dwyer purchased a failing bakery in Rugby in 1989 with a rundown retail outlet and a handful of wholesale accounts. John regularly slept under the ovens between producing, baking, packing and delivering to the company’s customers.

After experiencing growth in their wholesale business, the decision to close the retail shop and concentrate efforts on building a successful wholesale bakery was made. A decision that has proved successful over the past twenty years, with the company having to expand four times, growing production capacity to keep up with the ever increasing demand for its quality products.

Investing in quality equipment and the tireless pursuit of perfection paid dividends when in April 2009 the company was moved “lock-stock and barrel” to a purpose-built factory.

We've gone from one delivery van to eight, from a five mile radius to customers 50 miles away. Everyone at the company continues to work tirelessly to ensure customer orders are never missed and quality never falls.

With new investment in staff and equipment, our sights are firmly set on taking the company higher with Efsis and BRC accreditation at the top of the management “to-do list”. The whole company still insists that the customer must always take centre stage.

We deliver baked goods to a 50 mile radius around Rugby and our clients include schools, colleges, contract caterers, commercial venues and lots of independent shops and cafés.
