A POPULAR bakery is celebrating after adding another award to its collection. Grant’s Bakery, on Corbridge’s Market Place, has been named national winner of the Baking Industry Awards’ (BIA) The Craft Bakery Business Award 2020. The family-owned company, led by master baker Andrew Cotterell, was named the best in the north in 2019 at the prestigious awards. 2020 winners were chosen following months of judging which, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, involved dozens of video calls, product tastings and interviews, and hundreds of guests tuned in to watch the online, live awards ceremony hosted by TV and radio star Alexander Armstrong.

Keith Houliston, sales director at Bakels and baking industry veteran, says he was “over the moon” to be awarded for his Outstanding Contribution to the Baking Industry.
“I am absolutely delighted with this award. I will cherish it forever,” he tells
British Baker. He received the award, which was sponsored by Délifrance, as part of the Baking Industry Awards 2020.
Houliston has achieved a lengthy and illustrious career in the baking industry, one spanning 40 years. But during that time, he has remained loyal to one company – Bakels.
I’d like to thank the key people at British Bakels for supporting me for the work that I’ve done in the industry
Krystal Jenkins from UCB is a Dawn Student Ambassador 2021
Dawn Foods has appointed its student ambassadors for 2021 as part of an ongoing partnership with University College Birmingham (UCB).
Krystal Jenkins and Jonah Street are both second year students on UCB’s Bakery and Patisserie Technology undergraduate degree course.
Jenkins has a passion for experimenting with flavours and textures, which inspired her to undertake a bakery course at university.
“I’ve always had a sweet tooth when it comes to things like cakes and desserts and thanks to my sister, who taught me how to make these myself, I was able to go on an experiment with different flavours and textures to create cakes and desserts for friends and family,” said Jenkins.
