An Innovating and diversifying sector
The bakery industry has been innovating, diversifying, maintaining quality and ensuring resilience in the face of changing times and tastes. The range of bakery produce on offer to consumers today is huge as it continues with traditional breads, cakes, and pies to artisan specialities, as well as ready-to-eat convenience foods to part-baked and dry mix ‘bake it yourself’ options. The need to encompass varying dietary requirements including non-dairy, gluten-free, kosher and halal, has seen the bakery sector continue to grow.
Further pressure on the industry has increased also via the passing of Natasha’s Law, with stricter processes, compliance and requirements needed for food safety, allergens, hygiene and introduction of calorie labelling. This has also added to increased competitiveness amongst businesses in filling bakery jobs and bakery recruitment.
