The Original Baker have completed an exciting expansion project following a multi-million-pound investment from the Olidor Group.
The Malton based company have increased their site in the north of the town by 22,000 sq ft, more than doubling their production capacity.
Founded in 2016, the business produces a range of handmade artisan pies, pasties, and sausage rolls made using traditional techniques and locally sourced ingredients. The recent investment will allow them to launch new product lines, create 30 new positions within the company over the next 12 and enhance their logistical capabilities, which will support them in their planned expansion into e-commerce, and allow them to supply smaller independent retailers and delis.
Mike Walker, managing director at The Original Baker, said: “This is a landmark moment for The Original Baker. The investment from the Olidor Group has enabled us to grow sustainably while staying true to our artisan roots. This expansion has strengthened our position as the leading producer of artisan premium pastry and created rewarding careers for talented people in our community.”
Andrew Ashby, CEO at Olidor Group, stated: “We invest in businesses with strong values, exceptional products, and clear growth potential. The Original Baker ticks every box. Together, we’re building on their artisan heritage while creating a strong future for the brand and the people behind it.” For more information visit www.theoriginalbaker.co.uk
