Who we are
About us
Past
John Dwyer Bakery Ltd was founded by John and Jackie Dwyer in the wonderful market town of Rugby in 1989 with one retail outlet and a handful of wholesale accounts.
In the early days it was very much a two person operation with John doing all the baking, packing and deliveries whilst Jackie took care of the office, orders, invoicing and administration side of the business.
It was identified early that the growth was in the wholesale business so the decision was taken to close the retail shop and concentrate efforts on building a successful wholesale bakery.
About us
History has shown that this was a correct decision as rapid growth has seen the business expand four times in the last 30 years. Investment in quality equipment has continued and in tandem with a highly skilled team this has driven the production capacity which in turn has seen us increase to a large fleet of twelve delivery vans, delivering six day per week from Rugby to customers cross a 50 mile radius – which covers a huge population of the Midlands.
The business continues to prosper, develop and modernise whilst retaining the craft bakery heritage and focus on quality that John started in 1989.
