Bill Collins, co-inventor of the Chorleywood Bread Process, has passed away.
Here, Baketran director Stan Cauvain talks about how his former colleague and friend revolutionised the baking industry.
Mention the name Thomas Hylton Collins to bakers around the world and you will get a puzzled look; change that to Bill Collins and you get instant recognition, not least because of his association with the invention of the Chorleywood Bread Process (CBP). Yet there was much more to Bill’s career than the invention of the CBP, and his detailed knowledge of the manufacture of bread and fermented goods covered all aspects of breadmaking.
