The fifth generation of the Warburton family is dedicated to continuing the Warburton family tradition of baking, inherited over the past 133 years. One thing hasn’t changed and that is the founding principle, on which the business has been built. As Thomas Warburton said in 1876: “This is a family company selling traditionally baked bread with freshness and quality you really can taste”.
Jonathan Warburton, the current Chairman, is dedicated to continuing improvement across all areas of the business: “There are so many things that go into making a company like Warburtons a success. However, perhaps two that stand out above all others, are the quality of our people and the quality of the products that we bake.”
With headquarters in Bolton, Lancashire, Warburtons employs approximately 5,000 employees in 14 different bakeries and 15 depots and produces over two million bakery products each day.
Warburtons, the second biggest grocery brand in the UK*, specialises in the production of a number of bakery products, including wax wrapped loaves, wholemeal products, crumpets, pancakes and bread rolls, among many others. Warburtons success is underpinned by the Company’s dedication to continuously supply the highest quality bakery products, while investing in innovation and new product development.
For the Warburton family this isn’t just a business. It’s a way of life!
