Baking for the nation since 1895
By the age of 12, founder George Fletcher was a baking apprentice, learning all the tricks of the trade of baking delicious bread from his father. In 1950, Fletchers had grown to such a rate that a new factory, dubbed the ‘Fletchers Super Bakery’, was opened at Claywheels Lane and became a recognisable landmark within its hometown.
In 2000, the company went through a series of acquisitions before calling Finsbury Foods its home in 2014. Since joining the Finsbury family, Fletcher’s bread has remained a staple for our customers, providing the same sliced bread that has been known and loved since 1895. From traditional thick white to medium wholemeal sliced bread; the Fletchers range is versatile enough to cater for a wide range of audiences, from the education sector to hospitality and everything in between.
Experience in every slice
Today, the Fletchers Bakery site measures 40,000 square metres, with over 400 staff producing bread 364 days a year. This is made possible by our 9 automatic bakery lines, producing fresh and frozen bakery lines, which allows us to manufacture large volumes of products to meet the demands of our wholesale customers. All Fletchers bread products are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and can be used to create delicious dishes.
