Samworth Brothers is supporting a food industry initiative led by the Institute of Grocery Distribution (IGD)

Many thousands of people in the food production sector are helping the nation stay fed at this difficult time. We want to thank all our own colleagues and associates across other food businesses, for their outstanding response to this crisis. Many people are going above and beyond as #FoodHeroes and we thank you for this.

Last Thursday, the Rt Hon George Eustice MP (Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) wrote to pay tribute to everyone working hard to feed the nation. He recognises that “those working in food production and distribution have had to work harder than ever to ensure that food and drink are kept on the shelves.”

Ginsters has unveiled a gourmet pasty range exclusively available in Selfridges which has launched as the country celebrates Cornish Pasty Week.

Available in a choice of three deluxe flavours, the new range is exclusively available from Selfridges’ flagship store on London’s Oxford Street. The pasties are served chilled from the deli counter in the renowned Foodhall.

Apprentices from Samworth Brothers businesses in Leicestershire came together this week for a National Apprenticeship Week celebration. The event took place at Bradgate Bakery in Beaumont Leys and was attended by the Assistant City Mayor, Councillor Vi Dempster.
