Bread is provided to order – from the smallest corner shop to the largest supermarket – and delivered the next day. Most products are produced in batches and then sold when needed.
Because of its shelf life every product is made daily and delivered direct to store.
Environmental Impact
The baking industry does a lot of work to ensure we minimise the environmental impact of bakery distribution, from modern, low emission vehicles, to efficient routing of vehicles and driver training. Not only that, most of our deliveries take place in the early morning so don’t clog the roads during the day.
The supply of bread can result in lots of food miles – something like 130 m miles per annum, but it is only by delivering bread daily to every shop and store that we can get the freshest bread to the consumer.
It is also worth noting that 80% of UK consumers are within 30 miles of a bakery.
