Open Day

On the 6th of September we hosted two open days for our wholesale customers. It was a pleasure to welcome them into the original Hobbs House and Cookery School on Chipping Sodbury High Street, which is located just above the shop. When the customers started to arrive, they were warmly welcomed by Henry, George, and Anna Herbert in the garden along with some freshly baked pastries, tea, and coffee. 

As the day went on, our customers had the opportunity to meet the Sales team and Ed, our Acting Sales Manager, gave a talk introducing a new online ordering system. This now gives customers the opportunity to be more independent and have flexibility with their orders. 

A little later, Anna gave a talk about a sustainable future and what has also been going on behind the scenes with the expansion of the bakery and offices. We are hoping to have the new bakery operating by Spring 2023. 

As we wanted to share our Christmas range with everyone, Bex, our NPD Manager, spoke about the new products and had lots of testers throughout the day to give everyone the chance to try them, along with some of our classics and bestsellers from the last few years. 

For lunch we went outside to the garden and offered everyone freshly baked pizzas and slow-roasted pulled pork on the barbecues. 

It was such a wonderful opportunity to finally meet some of our wholesale customers who have been working with us for many years. In fact, it was a real highlight to presentFrome Wholefoods with their 30 Years customer board. 

To end the day everyone received goodie bags with some of our classic All ButterMince Pies, our signature Sherston loaf and some other little goodies.
