On Wednesday November 18th 2015, the AB Mauri UK & Ireland Centre of Excellence was officially unveiled to the wider baking industry.
44 Guests, including many industry bodies, were welcomed with an innovation talk by Jim Hawkridge, Technical Director and given an extensive tour of the facilities to demonstrate the development capabilities for both the bread and confectionery units.
Jim Hawkridge commented: “Whilst the new facilities will help us to provide enhanced support to the wider baking industry, we are very thankful that it will also enable us to evolve experience internally, invest time and develop stronger people.”
George Weston, Chief Executive of Parent Company Associated British Foods (seen here with AB Mauri UK & Ireland Managing Director, Andrew Pollard), then officially declared the centre open.
