Fine Lady Bakeries Limited
Fine Lady Bakeries Limited is part of the Heygate Group, which is a private business wholly owned by the Heygate family. The Group is best known as the largest independent flour miller within the UK, with a turnover in excess of £100 million per annum.
Fine Lady Bakeries was started in the 1950s by local bakers in Banbury and subsequently became part of the Heygate Group in the mid 1960s, moving to its present Southam Road site in 1965. During the following years additional land has been acquired and the Bakery now occupies a 10 acre site.
Since moving to its present site, the Company has continued to invest and is now one of the largest and most modern bread bakeries in Europe, producing in excess of 150 million items per year. This has been achieved by continuous product and engineering development - we pride ourselves on our ability to regularly develop new lines for our customers.
The Bakery has a workforce of 380 people which makes us one of the key employers in the area.
