WINNER Husband and wife team Paul and Tricia Barker opened their
bakery/patisserie two years ago and concentrated on developing a brand rather
than a one-off business. The judges were particularly impressed with the
“off-beat name” and its brave signature product, the US-inspired Cinnamon Square
itself. Tricia says the success of the family-orientated business, a combination
of quality coffee shop and training academy for all ages, relies on marketing
its superb products and service. With Paul’s baking and Tricia’s marketing experience, the Barkers have opened – and promoted – a very individual business and they are looking towards expansion in the future.
The Skills Achievement Award
WINNER Cinnamon Square owner Paul Barker studied in his own time, then took on a full-time technical course while working (voluntarily) one day a week at the Campden & Chorleywood Food Research Association. He went on to work at Puratos and United Biscuits and the judges were impressed with the way he had effectively contributed to the growth of all his employers. He opened his own business two years ago and his passion for applying his acquired bakery skills helped establish a new brand. The bakery/patisserie, described as having a ‘City’ feel, is aimed at families. While parents enjoy a sophisticated coffee and a signature Cinnamon Square, children can decorate cookies, or even hold their own baking birthday party! Bakery courses are also offered.
"We are delighted to win these prestigious awards. We would like to thank all of our supporters, customers and in particular the award sponsors Rich's and Asda."
