Great trip, I enjoyed the focaccia and ciabatta being made, also the bakery visit at 3am.

The Polin factory was excellent and a great chance to see their machinery in action. We were up in the middle of the night to see a Richmond baker in action and it didn’t disappoint. The quality of hand crafted traditional breads being produced was a highlight of the study tour.

Graeme The Premium Bakery

Audrey The Apple Pie Bakery

I think it has been a thoroughly interesting visit with some great people. The factory and bakery visits were informative and eye opening as to some of the equipment that is available out there, but my highlight has to be the mill, I have picked up quite a bit of info to put to use.

Ian Maclean’s Highland Bakery

The Polin visit was very interesting and informative.

The flour mill was impressive, I learnt things I didn’t know about flour grains.

Dean Goodfellows of Dundee Ltd

I’m very impressed with Polin after this tour.

It’s solid kit that was clear in the factories. I was also impressed by the depositor demo; it’s something we could use. All in all I‘ve really enjoyed this trip, would like to thank Polin, Brooks & Scottish Bakers.

Tom T A Francis & Sons

The study tour has been fantastic, as well as being great fun it’s been highly educational.
