We were formed in 1991 by Alan and Julie Armstrong and are based near Keswick in Cumbria. We are makers of hand crafted and high quality desserts, gateaux and artisan bakery related items. We serve three markets, national food services, the local catering trade and, with our new retail range, shops within the Lake District.

Reporting to the Managing Director, we need someone to take our new retail range of desserts and get them into farm shops and the top end of the retail grocery outlets.
