How did we get here?

In 1985 Carrs Foods Ltd was incorporated..

8

By 2004 we were part of the Harry’s Group..

9

But the French wanted to sell us Brits..

10

So we bought the company..

11

The bakery world was ours for the taking..

12

Then in 2008 our world collapsed..

13

We needed a new strategy…

14

15

We decided to broaden our horizons..

A chance conversation in a bar in Cologne led to

great things

16

17

We needed to take a closer look at our brands

We have brought the brand to life for consumers

28

But Carrs Foods had an identity crisis..

29

Few people knew who we were…

30

It made sense to change our name to reflect our brands..

31

So we did…
