The winner of Bakery Manufacturer of the Year at the Baking Industry Awards 2020 should be an ambitious business striving for growth and high standards at all times.
Winner: Proper Cornish
Based, as the name suggests, in the heart of Cornwall, Proper Cornish was formed in 1988 by three sons of the county, Phil Ugalde (pictured) and brothers Dave and Chris Pauling. The trio had become disillusioned with commercially made Cornish pasties.
On a mission to bring more authenticity to the market and armed with their own unique recipe, handed down through the generations, they started out with a handful of family members making just 100 pasties a day from their kitchen table.

This category at the Baking Industry Awards 2020 celebrates innovative and marketable products that present something new to the judges, be it a twist on an existing product or something completely new.
Winner: Sourdough Toastie Loaf, Seasons Bakery
The unique Sourdough Toastie Loaf is described by Seasons Bakery as having a traditional sourdough flavour with the creamy softness of a white tin loaf.
It was developed with a customer, who owns a toastie business, looking for a loaf that was soft and even in size, but with the benefits of sourdough.
The loaf is made using a yeasted white sourdough sponge with a little bit of rye. Seasons adds 0.2g of yeast to its sponge as well. Having been fermented in the fridge for 24 hours, the sponge is added to Seasons’ sourdough, bulk fermented for six hours, divided, moulded and put into tins. There it is left to slowly proof for six hours before baking.
