PAST PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

Past President’s welcome It was a pleasure to be only the second President of Scottish Bakers to serve for two consecutive years. I can understand other Past Presidents saying that a year just flies by and I can assure you two years fly by as well. It was lovely to pass the chain on to our new President Craig McPhie and his wife Lesley but it was also sad to bring my Presidency to the end.

We had many highlights including our Northern and Glasgow dances with two successful conferences, they just seem to get better and better and now not being President I might actually have a chance of winning Scottish Baker of the Year!

Our conferences in the last two years have seen some great speakers including Mich Turner MBE, Martin Lightbody, James Withers, the winners of the Scottish Baker of the Year Awards, JC Jeffrey one of the in-market specialists that has been recruited as a direct result of the work of our export group, Lord Digby Jones, Tom O’Toole and who can forget Colin Cloud? How does he do that???

We have been entertained by the Bay City Rollers, Michelle McManus, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers and Roadrunner and we have witnessed the crowning of Ashers Bakery, McGhee’s Bakery and earlier this year The Kandy Bar as Scottish Baker of the Year. Scottish Bakers has continued to go from strength to strength

and it was great to see the launch of the new online James Allan Bakery Academy at this year’s conference The World Championship Scotch Pie Awards are also continuing to have a positive impact on the winners’ businesses and Carol Smillie did a great job for us hosting this year and the publicity generated for the winners is just great, even the judging day got TV coverage!

Renegotiating the JIC agreement was a major task.

We also had the successful sale of Atholl House, our training arm has continued to go from strength to strength and also being invited to meet our senior members at our centenary club meeting was really special. It’s been a great two years and thanks again for all of your support!

John Gall Past President

PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

President’s message I was very proud to be installed as the President of Scottish Bakers at our conference in May, in front of almost 500 people, especially as it is our 125th Anniversary year.

My wife Lesley and I are proud to represent Scottish Bakers, it has been such a great year so far.

The first couple of weeks after being installed as President were extremely busy. I joined a whirlwind of activities with our Chief Executive Alan Clarke, which included: the Centenary Club joint lunch in Perth (it was great to see so many people there), and the Annual Conference of the Federation of Bakers at Birmingham’s Edgbaston Stadium.

I then returned to Edinburgh for a meeting organised

by Johnson Carmichael on the potential effects of Brexit on the Scottish Food & Drink sector, followed a few days later by a City of Glasgow College student’s evening featuring presentations from the bakery students; then back to Edinburgh with Alan and our Financial Controller Susan Whyte to attend the Scotland Food and Drink Awards at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, where we sponsored the bakery and cereal category.

About six weeks after being installed, I had my first official engagement outside of Scotland at the Craft Bakers Association Conference in Manchester and I was proud for Lesley and I to represent our Association and to congratulate Janet Carr on being installed as their President. Alan and I then had a week of meeting our members in Inverness, Caithness, Wick and Orkney which was a real eye opener and I was delighted to experience at first-hand how well Scottish Bakers is respected by our members.

Craig McPhie President

A visit to London was then made, where Alan & I met Sonia Young and Lorraine Hendle from British Baker to build on how we can work more closely together during my Presidency.

It has been a fantastic experience chairing our Board meetings and events and conference committee and it was lovely to see our plans come together for our 125th Anniversary Ball.

The evening was just so special, we had a number of distinguished guests including the Right Honourable Donald Wilson, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh and Lady Provost Elaine Wilson, Mrs Janet Carr President of the Craft Bakers Association and her husband Steven, Mr Brian Irwin, President of the Irish Association of Master Bakers and his wife Moira, Scottish Bakers Ambassador Mich Turner MBE and her husband Phil, Scotland Food & Drink Chief Executive James Withers and his wife Joanna, Robert Ross who made our splendid 125th Anniversary cake and his wife Dorothy, Sonia Young Event Director and Publisher, William Reed Business Media, Michelle McManus and her fiancé Jeff Nimmo and our compere for the evening Carol Smillie.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

President Craig McPhie with members of the Scottish Bakers Board and Carol Smillie at the 125th Anniversary Ball

It was great to see so many people there including Past Presidents, bakeries from all over Scotland, bakery associations and industry supporters being represented. Special thanks to Mark Tomlinson of BAKO North Western Group, Allan Burns of Carr’s Flour for presenting the wonderful tartan and to Douglas McCabe for sponsoring the wonderful cake made by Robert Ross.

We also showed a multimedia presentation celebrating our 125 years and big thanks to Jim Brown, Alan Stuart, our team of Alan, Angie and Lucy for designing and sourcing the content and to Mallard Productions for capturing our history so well. Before the entertainment started we had Alan Stuart whose Great Great Grandfather was at the inaugural meeting of SAMB in 1891, make a heartfelt speech of what it was like to be a baker and the pride and passion that exists in his family and in our industry as a whole.

It gave me great pleasure present a Scottish Bakers Life Member Award to Mich Turner MBE as a surprise on the evening. She is a terrific ambassador for us, going

SCOTTISH BAKERS ANNUAL REPORT 2015/2016

far and beyond her role to promote Scottish Bakers at every opportunity. We were thoroughly entertained until the wee small hours by the Red Hot Chilli Pipers, Michelle McManus and the Donnie Munro band followed by a disco. It truly was a fantastic event, fitting of the occasion.

Our 125 event was followed by another visit to London to represent Scottish Bakers at the Bakery Industry Awards, hosted by British Baker, then it was the opening of the new Puratos Innovation Centre in Fringford, quickly followed by the Irish Association of Master Bakers conference in Kilkenny.

Lesley and I would like to congratulate their new President Eugene Baker and his Lady President Susan and we look forward to welcoming them to Scotland.

As you can see being President of Scottish Bakers is an honour and a privilege and here’s to the next 125 years.

Craig McPhie President

chief executive’s message

chief executive’s message This is a momentous year for Scottish Bakers as we are celebrating our 125th anniversary. We held our Anniversary Ball in the Sheraton Hotel on Saturday 3rd September 2016 and produced a short multimedia presentation chronicling our 125 years.

We have continued to work towards our strategy of 4P’s Profile, Policy, People & Professionalism and progress is detailed against each of our strategic aims over the next four pages.

In summary we have continued to develop our training offer and have increased our contracts across the UK and also started the development of a new bakery apprenticeship in the Republic of Ireland. The income from this and our other activities has enabled us to deliver our strategic objectives. Our membership fees account for just 5% of our income, therefore 95% of our income is through our activities of training, events and member services.

We have fully engaged with Government departments and other food and drink sector organisations to be at the heart of the public sector, private sector partnership which is Scotland Food & Drink. We have been actively involved in their skills and export groups and have acted as a champion of the productivity group. The relationships that we have built mean that if any member has an issue that they want confidentially raised at senior Government level we can do that on your behalf. The issue of the potential introduction of folic acid into flour has been a really good example where private and public sector organisations have been working together on potential solutions.

We have delivered a number of business focused and social events celebrating our 125th Anniversary year and delivering our Northern and Glasgow dances, World Championship Scotch Pie Awards, Annual Conference and the Scottish Baker of the Year Awards.

Alan Clarke Chief Executive

It was a pleasure to launch the new online James Allan Bakery Academy which is a fully integrated online learning portal with a qualifications learning system and an interactive learning content. We have maintained our contract with Skills Development Scotland (SDS) meaning more than 400 learners in Scotland have achieved apprenticeship qualifications. The significant reduction in funding is a major issue for us and we have been in high level negotiations with SDS to try and rectify this.

Our training arm in England and Northern Ireland goes from strength to strength and we are establishing a new bakery apprenticeship in the Republic of Ireland. We have continued to build on the range of services that we offer our members and Lindsay’s Employment Law solicitors help line is regularly used, Food Chain Europe provides telephone support for food production technical support and Scottish Bakers Utilities provides quotes to ensure that your utility costs are competitive.

We sold Atholl House during our 125th year and have added a Scottish Bakers tartan wall and our 125th Anniversary cake to Bakers House.

This has been a good year for Scottish Bakers and many bakers in Scotland are benefiting from the renewed interest in the bakery sector. We live in uncertain times with Brexit and talk of indyref2 but I am confident that the bakery sector has risen to all challenges that it has faced over the last 125 years and beyond and will continue to do so.

As the charts below show, training is the main source of income for Scottish Bakers. The majority of our income comes from the training grants that we negotiate on behalf of the sector. By delivering the training using our team of regionally based Training Advisors, this enables us to protect the craft based skills within the sector and enable employers to up-skill their employees with no direct cash cost to the employer. This is still the case in Scotland but for next year’s contract in England and Northern Ireland we will request a small contribution from the employers to enable the current level of service to be maintained.

Next year a small contribution may be required from Scottish employers if the funding for training continues to be reduced.

During 2015/2016 we delivered bakery and food manufacturing apprenticeships across the UK. In Scotland they were funded by Skills Development Scotland (SDS), in England by the Skills Funding Agency (SFA ) and in Northern Ireland by the Department for Employment & Learning (DEL). We are in partnership with Social Enterprise Kent in England and Belfast Metropolitan College in Northern Ireland. We have also been successful in applying to train in the Republic of Ireland and are preparing training courses for this.

The re- investment of our funds and with the donation of Hamish Allan we have been able to almost complete our online learning materials.

OUR VALUED PARTNERS

THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT The food and drink industry is vital to Scotland. It creates jobs and wealth, impacts on health and sustainability, and helps attract people to the country by promoting our food and drink around the globe. It continues to be a great success story and shows no sign of slowing down.

I want to express my appreciation for the huge role Scottish Bakers has played and continue to play in this success.

Scotland’s food and drink growth sector generated turnover of approximately £14.4 billion, which made 2014 a record year - an impressive £1.3 billion of this figure is produced by more than 12,000 dedicated individuals from the bakery sector. Furthermore, between 2008 and 2014, Scotland’s food manufacturing sector turnover increased by 43% - more than twice the rate of growth than the UK food manufacturing sector. It’s great to see the association going from strength to strength, working in collaboration with Scotland Food and Drink and being engaged on a range of key issues including productivity, skills and exports.

Collaboration between the Scottish Government, its agencies and Scottish Bakers has also been key, notably the very helpful dialogue in relation to the potential mandatory fortification of flour with folic acid.

Your input on this issue and many others is vital in helping Scotland to become a Good Food Nation.

I would urge all bakers to continue to use your trade

association to raise relevant concerns with me so that we can continue to work together productively.

One issue that’s been prominent in the past year is of course the EU referendum. The EU provides a key market for not only the food and drink we produce, but also in how we produce, and it’s vital that we are able to continue our existing trading arrangements and safeguard those employed across our industry. That’s why I am hosting a series of rural economy summits to bring together key players, identify the barriers to growth and recommend potential actions to increase investment and boost jobs.

I want to congratulate Scottish Bakers on achieving the remarkable milestone of 125 years and make clear my commitment to work with you on areas of mutual interest towards future success, though I cannot guarantee to be around for all of the next 125!

Fergus Ewing MSP Cabinet Secretary for Rural Economy & Connectivity

OUR VALUED PARTNERS

Scotland Food & Drink It has been another year in the spotlight for Scottish food and drink. A new record turnover for the sector was reported of £14.4 billion, with the value of sales overtaking oil and gas for the first time. Of course, the challenges facing the oil and gas sector have been well documented, but the central importance of farming, fishing, food and drink to Scotland’s economy is now crystal clear.

Only ten years ago, the importance of our industry was questioned, with a debate as to whether it should even be one of the priority sectors in the Government’s strategy. That debate has now been put to bed.

However, how we move forward, how we tackle the challenges in front of us and how we exploit the emerging opportunities is the debate now in front of us.

The Scotland Food & Drink partnership - of which Scottish Bakers is central - is working on the new 2030 industry strategy. The expertise that Scottish Bakers is bringing to the process will be critical.

We write a new strategy in a time of tremendous change. Not only are consumer buying habits changing dramatically, but we’re seeing rapid advances in technology that will affect us all, as well as being in the midst of a huge political upheaval. The questions posed by Brexit remain largely unanswered, but Scotland Food & Drink working with Scottish Bakers and the trade associations across the Scotch whisky, red meat, salmon, seafood, dairy, farming and fishing sectors, have an opportunity to ensure our priorities are heard.

Like all major change, it will be a mix of opportunity and challenge; our role as a partnership must be the make the most of where we find ourselves and ensure that future decisions protect and further the growth of our industry.

James Withers Chief Executive Officer, Scotland Food & Drink

I remain hugely optimistic for the future of our bakery sector and the wider food and drink industry.

We produce high quality through craftsmanship, in a world increasingly interested in the story behind food and drink products. I see markets at home and overseas full of opportunity and, on the latter, Scottish Bakers is making a huge contribution to our export strategy and leading a step change in internationalisation of the whole sector.

Celebrating the success of food and drink is important.

But, if we’re honest, figures like £14.4 billion in turnover are abstract. In reality, they mask individual success stories of business big and small, new starts and long-established. Our new strategy needs to be measured on how it creates an environment for continued success for individual bakers and food and drink companies everywhere. If we succeed, we will ensure that food and drink continues to underpin Scotland’s economic future.

Skills Development scotland Helping Scotland’s bakery businesses to source the talent and skills they need for growth and innovation is an important task for Skills Development Scotland.

This ranges from helping small employers with recruitment, training and workforce development, to helping larger firms incorporate skills planning into their growth strategies.

2016 has seen the development of a new Skills Investment Plan for Scotland’s Food and Drink Sector which aims to build on the successes of the original plan launched four years ago.

Based on extensive consultations with a range of employers and key industry voices, including the board of Scottish Bakers, the plan identifies key issues facing the sector and offers a framework for action that aims to help businesses prosper and grow in the coming years.

The key themes of the plan are: Raising the attractiveness of the sector to potential new entrants - encouraging more young people into the sector, as well as mature new entrants and career changers, to consider a career in food and drink.

Driving leadership and management excellence - helping businesses to identify and develop staff who have the potential to fill business leadership positions within the company.

Skills for business improvement - boosting the productivity of businesses as a way of improving efficiency and competitiveness.

Skills for business growth - securing the broad range of expertise, skills and knowledge required by businesses to succeed in the domestic or international marketplace, from sales and marketing to product development.

A great deal has already been achieved since the first edition of the Skills Investment Plan launched in 2012.

In the bakery sector nearly 2500 employees have undertaken an apprenticeship or work based learning.

SDS has also worked in partnership with Scottish Bakers to support over 350 individuals to gain extra skills through specialist short courses.

There is now every opportunity for bakery businesses of all sizes to put skills at the heart of their business plan. SDS looks forward to working with Scottish Bakers to raise skill levels across the sector.

ScotTISH DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL Scottish Bakers Export Group members have continued to benefit from the SF&D Export Plan and in-market specialist team over the last year, along with wider SDI support - moving forward individual company export ambitions and working together to identify opportunities for a collective approach.

This is based on a set of ‘hero’ products with strong provenance, aimed at premium international retail and food service customers.

At the Global Insights event at Airth Castle this summer, Export Group members met with the full team of in-market specialists and got direct feedback about the potential for specific products in each of the top prospect markets. Plans are now being developed to capitalise on these market opportunities. The Scottish dairy sector is already reaping the rewards from our collective approach to exporting, for example getting a range of Scottish cheeses into a key US distributor, a new listing with a Japanese retailer and strong interest from the Middle East. I am confident that the next year will also see positive results for bakery, with members reaping the rewards from their investment in the Export Plan.

The plan is about delivering increased international growth across the industry, and building Scotland’s reputation as a ‘Land of Food & Drink’, with a drive to widen the portfolio of food products in international markets. Bakery companies, with their range of premium, innovative products, are well placed to get a large slice of this prize.

Susan Beattie Head of Food & Drink and Textiles, Scottish Development International

And we are seeing positive results from the collective efforts of the Scotland Food & Drink partnership which includes Scottish Bakers. For example our Showcasing Scotland 2015 event allowed Scottish businesses to meet potential new customers from all our top prospect markets, resulting in an estimated £34m of new business opportunities over the next 3 years, almost double the previous event. We also had nearly double the number of international buyers, a direct result of the strong relationships established by our shared in-market specialist team.

Our exhibition programme has helped broaden the range of international markets and products, backed up by 1:1 support from SDI trade advisors and trade associations and wider support from Scottish Enterprise and Highlands & Islands Enterprise. This all means that F&D companies can capitalise on export opportunities much more rapidly than ever before. I look forward to highlighting some real bakery successes in next year’s report!

SCOTTISH FOOD & DRINK FEDERATION At the Scottish Food and Drink Federation (SFDF) we have a strong partnership with Scottish Bakers.

Two clear highlights this year showcase this relationship in different ways - inspiring children in schools and working behind the scenes to ensure that proposals for new legislation on folic acid get the best possible input from the food industry.

Our work in schools - A Future in Food - brings Scotland’s schools and food and drink manufacturers together to promote careers in the food industry. Scottish Bakers are firm supporters of this project. At Braidbar Primary School in Glasgow we worked together to help 36 primary 6 pupils to visit Morton’s Rolls to find out how rolls are made.

At Hazelhead Academy each year Scottish Bakers and SFDF have organised for J.G.Ross to visit the school to deliver baking demonstrations to the pupils as part of the core curriculum.

Food Standards Scotland were asked by the Scottish Government earlier this year to provide advice on the mandatory fortification of food with folic acid.

This is a health measure which reduces the chances of spina bifida in babies. We quickly allied with Scottish Bakers and other UK trade associations to ensure that Food Standards Scotland have clear industry technical input into their options appraisal.

RESOURCE EFFICIENCY SCOTLAND Zero Waste Scotland’s resource efficiency programme, Resource Efficient Scotland, has been working in partnership with Scottish Bakers this year to launch a Scottish Bakers app for iPhone and Android phones. Aimed at owners and managers of bakeries, the app provides a wealth of useful information to cut costs and become more sustainable and resource efficient.

It’s also delivering up to the minute bakery news and events information.

This year, Scottish Bakers worked with Zero Waste Scotland and Glasgow Chamber of Commerce on the Glasgow Circle Scan Project. This looked to identify opportunities for circular economy ways of working within the city. As part of this, we held a workshop that explored the production of beer from waste bread through the use of heat recovery. This has already sparked some innovative partnerships between bakers and brewers. One brewery has produced a test brew and others are looking at the opportunity using an age-old process.

The Resource Efficient Scotland Advice and Support Hub supported 24 bakeries across Scotland and the Western Isles. An audit was carried out for each on water efficiency and energy efficiency that included lighting, ventilation and cooling, renewables, savings in waste management and raw material use. These audits identified total cost savings of £387579.54 (£327953.54 energy, £32336 water, £9,790 waste and raw materials £17500) and carbon savings of 1317 tonnes of CO2e.

Marissa Lippiatt Head of Resource Efficiency Zero Waste Scotland

Bakers we’re pleased to help the SFD Productivity Group launch the Productivity Action Plan that includes resource efficiency measures and joint working with Scottish Bakers to reduce food waste in the bakery sector. We’re currently working together on the SFD Sustainability Steering Group to develop the sustainability strategy that will be a key element of the planned relaunch of the SFD Strategy.

Looking ahead, Zero Waste Scotland will be delivering in-depth support packages to a minimum of ten bakery businesses in Scotland this year. This will help the businesses identify where food is being wasted and implement innovative technology solutions and approaches to prevent waste. The aim is to work with companies that cover the spectrum of bakery products and company size, manufactured product and location.

MESSAGE FROM BRITISH BAKER President Craig McPhie, Chief Executive Alan Clarke and Scottish Bakers members and activities featured regularly in British Baker magazine during the year as well as online on British Baker’s allied website bakeryinfo.co.uk. Online the stories had the benefit of linking back to Scottish Bakers’ own site, boosting traffic and hits.

The close links between Scottish Bakers and British Baker delivered positive national awareness of key celebrations and achievements. Highlights included reports from the annual conference, and The Kandy Bar seizing the title Scottish Baker of the Year, coverage of the 125th celebrations, which I attended as a guest of Scottish Bakers. As President, Craig was invited as a VIP to attend British Baker’s annual Baking Industry Awards accompanied by Alan to enjoy the Moulin Rouge theme.

They were among the 800 guests who rose to their feet to applaud National Food and Drink Training’s much-respected tutor Henry Jefferies as he was given the Outstanding Contribution to the Baking Industry Award 2016 by Ian Dobbie, managing director of Delifrance. Linda Hill’s image in the pages of British Baker as she celebrated Murrays Bakers triumph in the World Scotch Pie Championships in 2015 was a particular highlight.

Critically, the opinion of Scottish Bakers is sought by the British Baker, led by Editor Vince Bamford, on issues affecting the UK bakery sector, such as the National Living Wage, the impact of the Budget announcements, and a voice seeking clarity with the Craft Bakers’ Association on Government policy on sugar and taxation. Scottish Bakers’ Hero Products brochure was also widely featured alongside the nine members of the export group and Scottish Bakers’ participation in the ‘Showcasing Scotland’ event at Gleneagles.

An increased level of activity with British Baker is planned for the forthcoming year to benefit members’ profile and ensure the voice of Scottish Bakers is heard on the national stage.

IRISH ASSOCIATION OF MASTER BAKERS (IAMB) The Irish Association of Master Bakers (IAMB) is comprised of three organisations The Irish Bread Bakers Association (IBBA), The Flour Confectioners & Bakers Association (FCBA) and the Northern Ireland Bakery Council (NIBC).

The IBBA comprises four of the largest production bakeries in the Republic of Ireland, the Northern Ireland Bakery Council comprises the three large bakery companies in Northern Ireland and the FCBA represents the Craft Bakers in the Republic of Ireland and has approx. 90 members, from small one shop bakers to larger scale bakeries servicing the craft needs of large retailers.

In Northern Ireland, Scottish Bakers is the provider of choice for work based apprenticeships. The changes in funding mean that the current programme is coming to a close and with the introduction of the new training levy we plan to build on the good work that has happened to date.

FCBA partnered with Scottish Bakers and jointly applied to the Irish Apprenticeship Council to establish a new Bakery apprenticeship programme in Ireland, the bid was successful. Scottish Bakers is working with City & Guilds and the Irish State Awarding Body QQI (Quality Qualifications Ireland) to develop a new bakery qualification.

Eugene Baker President Irish Association of Master Bakers

We are hopeful to get the new qualification quality assured by the end of 2016 with the new apprenticeship Programme being ready during the first quarter of 2017.

The IBBA is supportive of the new proposed apprenticeship programme and have also been instrumental in engaging with the other two Irish bakery Associations to design a programme to help address the challenge that the industry faces in relation to the incorrect perceptions of Irish bread.

All three Associations that make up the IAMB are appreciative of the support and effort that Scottish Bakers have made and are making on their behalf.

CBA Information/ update on Training Provision I have always found the baking industry to be a very open and supportive industry and the sharing of information and open invitation to attend meetings of kindred associations one of its key attributes.

This is most evident in the cooperation between CBA and Scottish Bakers without whom we would be unable to access suitable training for our employees.

Some years ago Scottish Bakers realised the benefit both in terms of the value to its members and the association financially, of providing good quality, effective training for its members to access for their employees.

National Food & Drink Training (NFDT) is the provider of choice for the CBA for bakery apprenticeship training. In April of this year NFDT and the CBA jointly exhibited at the three day Foodex exhibition. This partnership proved to be very worthwhile for us both with three new members gained for the CBA and new contacts made with employers for NFDT to deliver bakery apprenticeships.

During the last three months the CBA has sent five referrals through to NFDT from their members and from these, three candidates have begun training.

BRITISH SOCIETY OF BAKING I am constantly inspired by the UK baking industry. Everyone involved works in a dynamic, evolving, passionate and interesting sector. However, no one can ignore the ongoing consolidation that can be seen throughout our industry as we all continue to adapt to increasing and challenging consumer demands, legislation and commercial pressures.

For the bakery trade organisations, it is imperative that we share our passion but also that we continue to adapt to this changing environment. We need to ensure that our contributions and activities are timely, relevant and compelling.

As consolidation continues, collaboration between all the UK’s bakery trade organisations is becoming increasingly important. Forging closer links will help us all realise our ambitions for our industry by building on the energy, passion and creativity that we see every day.

Throughout 2016, I have represented the British Society of Baking at the Scottish Bakers, ABST, Federation of Bakers, and Craft Bakers conferences.

While each organisation takes its own unique direction when implementing their events, the key elements we should all be proud of and support, remain the same.

Scottish Bakers has very kindly provided opportunities over the last two years for the British Society of Baking to join its annual strategy away-day. This is a great example of collaboration – two trade bodies working together and pulling in the same direction for the benefit of their respective organisations and the industry too.

Collaboration, alignment and a clear, unified strategy will continue to be increasingly important for British bakery trade organisations in order to progress and to continue supporting our sector. The BSB looks forward to working more closely with all trade organisations to grow and develop our relationships.

COLLABORATION BETWEEN SCOTTISH BAKERS AND FEDERATION OF BAKERS The Federation of Bakers (FoB) has a long history of prioritising collaboration with other bakery associations and our supply chain partners. We have a strong and developing relationship with Scottish Bakers.

Gordon Polson Director, Federation of Bakers

A developing area is the need to appreciate the balance between the pressures of EU, UK and Scottish legislation. Given Brexit this becomes a priority. Brexit throws down the challenge of new or changing UK legislation which gives Scotland the opportunity to develop its own response. As FoB represents bakers and all their businesses throughout the UK it is important to do this in collaboration with Scottish Bakers.

This is a developing issue and is a classic case of where collaboration will help to develop a policy which is beneficial to Scotland but also recognises the impact on the rest of the UK.

This has been highlighted by the recent collaboration between FoB and Scottish Bakers, flour millers (nabim) and Scottish Food and Drink Federation (SFDF), working with Food Standards Scotland as it develops its policy in response with the Scottish Government’s request to provide advice on the mandatory fortification of bread or flour with folic acid.

SCOTTISH BAKERS PARTNER SPONSOR Following the BAKO North Western Group’s acquisition of BAKO Northern & Scotland in the autumn of 2015, we have been delighted to build on the relationship with Scottish Bakers.

Being invited to the Scottish Bakers Board strategic away-days event was, I now know, a huge privilege as we were the very first supplier EVER to present at such an internal meeting.

Our first ‘public’ gathering was at the World Championship Scotch Pie Awards and it was in Cumbernauld where I first experienced the drive and passion that exists within the Scottish bakery industry - I was absolutely ‘blown away’!

Managed extremely professionally by Scottish Bakers, the judging processes were transparent and resilient and sought out the products which delivered across all benchmarks.

Over the following months, we began to understand how the Scottish baking industry ‘works’. Hugely competitive on the High Street and in wholesale areas, the bakers and confectioners fight daily for their share of the customer spend. As a backdrop, there is hard ‘evidence’ of support, camaraderie and respect for fellow competitors coming through in times of crisis (floods, machine breakdowns and illness).

The conference weekend in May provided me with a real insight into the professionalism and dedication of the Scottish Bakers team in Dunfermline - Scottish Bakers is a wonderful ambassadorial body and will lead our industry from strength to strength in terms of recognition at the ‘highest tables’ and providing embedded support for Bakers large and small. Their Conference of the Year Award was truly deserved.

JAMES ALLAN BAKERY ACADEMY The James Allan Bakery Academy is an online learning and qualifications resource to support apprentices completing a vocational qualification in bakery. Robert Ross assisted to develop the learning content.

Here is his thoughts on the project: I was privileged to be invited to write the content for the craft baking sections of the James Allan Bakery Academy Training Modules. From the start I had no illusion about the task involved, but confess the actual application far exceeded my expectations.

The objective of the modules was to give the new entrant an overview of the various stages of all the varied aspects of craft baking. Recognition of bakery layout, types of bakeries, bakery processing equipment and also an understanding of raw materials used in baking was included.

The content of each module needed to cover the basics of the criteria in each module, whilst ensuring adequate technical knowledge without creating confusion. The task spanned a twelve to eighteen-month period, which at times was difficult, frustrating, mind searching, but always rewarding. The modules are further enhanced by videos and photo story boards created in a working bakery environment. The information on each module was edited and transformed by training specialists into an easy learning format.

I am confident that by using the James Allan Bakery Academy training modules that craft baking can benefit from better informed new entrants to our trade.

The training modules are a credit to the forward-thinking of Scottish Bakers.

We have secured training with Loch Fyne Oysters, Dawnfresh, A.K. Stoddart and Highland Spring to deliver Lean & Six sigma training through the FME apprenticeship to their manufacturing sites.

During this financial year we will review and complete the regulatory process enabling us to offer Food & Drink Operations in Dairy skills at level 2 in Scotland further enhancing the NFDT brand.

The quality of our provision was again measured by our awarding bodies and funders and all of our external assessments were again passed with flying colours.

One external verifier said: “The flow and level of training and support available is far more than is required by SQA. There is a phenomenal level of passion for the delivery of SVQ’s amongst the centre staff” Helen Johnston SQA Another key measurement is our programme retention rates which are measured by each of our funders. The retention rate is calculated by subtracting the number of learners who fail to complete qualifications from the number of learners who started the qualification initially. This is then worked out as a percentage.

Our overall retention rate for the year gave Scottish Bakers a programme success rate of 82.7% against a target of 75.00%. Our consistently high achievement rate has given our funders confidence in our ability to deliver contracts to a high quality standard and maximise the funding allocated.

Our contract award for the year 2016 - 2017 totals £758,540 for 455 places demonstrating the above funder confidence.

carry out their course work is a fantastic benefit. Cobbs chose NFDT as they are recognised within the industry and the qualification attained by our employees would benefit the company and their own personal development. The business hoped to achieve a higher level of understanding from their employees, plus develop their self-confidence and skill level. The training has definitely benefited our business in the fact that it is recognised by outside auditors who can see that we are committed to staff development and training. One of our staff members said to me it is the best course he has done and he feels he can relate what he is doing on a day to day basis to what he is being asked on his course work, which makes the learning process enjoyable for him.

I would most definitely recommend NFDT to other companies because I found our advisor very easy to work with. He immediately made people feel at ease and was very encouraging and patient with his attitude.

Scottish Bakers rebranded training team National Food & Drink Training (NFDT) were invited to support Skills Development Scotland’s Skills Scotland events in Glasgow and Edinburgh during October and November 2015.

The aim of the events is to showcase the Bakery industry to young people and encourage them to think about the careers and positive destinations that the bakery industry and wider food & drink sector have to offer. As the bakery sectors represents 24% of Scotland Food and Drink industry, employing an estimated 20,000 staff, Scottish Bakers aim was to showcase some of our talents and discuss real life case studies using members of our training team NFDT. The team demonstrated how to decorate cupcakes to many of the 10,000 attendees and engaged with the participant’s questions.

Taking part in the events would not have been possible without the help and support of Macphie of Glenbervie supplying the raw materials and icings and Mortons Rolls in Glasgow who made over 6000 cupcakes and distributed them to each venue for the training team to demonstrate.

We could not participate in these without the continued support from our members and associated suppliers. Thank You!

TRAINING OVERVIEW - ENGLAND

“After watching my colleague Arron Cook complete his level 2 qualification in Baking Industry Skills I enquired about the possibility of undertaking the level 3 qualification. The course is not only valuable from a working methods point of view, but also with regards to acknowledging the needs of those around you and their own learning and developments requirements. I feel that the NFDT training advisor not only covered the required training and development to complete the qualifications criteria, they also added value to the business and myself, through their extensive knowledge of the baking industry. With the help of and support of my training advisor, and that of my employer, this has been an ultimately valuable and rewarding experience.”

James Whittan Hazelmere Café We are delighted to report that the England contract values have continuously grown over the last five years from £251,000 in 2012/13 to £489,877 in 2015/16, an increase of £238,877! The contracts for 2016-2017 are different from any previous year, as they are only for nine months (Aug 2016-March 2017) and our combined contract value is £337,329. This is due to the introduction of the Employer Levy and the New Trailblazer Apprenticeship Standards which replace the current Modern Apprenticeships, which comes into effect on 1st April 2017. This will be the last year that we are part of the consortium. From April 2017 all training providers must have their own contract with the SFA to deliver to non-levy paying employers.

“I was unsure when we first decided to take on an apprentice, but I am so pleased with the standard and the quality of the training given by our training advisor and National Food and Drink Training” Richard Copsey Owner of Holwhites Bakery Holtwhites Bakery now has two candidates, Kesja Harwood and Raphaelle Johnson, both of which are going through their Level 2 Craft bakery qualification with the National Food and Drink Training. Both Kesja and Raphaelle are doing amazingly well and always go the extra mile with every task that they are set.

TRAINING OVERVIEW - NORTHERN IRELAND

“The IPQ Programme has been the single most effective training programme used within Allied Bakeries Ireland over the past five years. Our goal was to have multi skilled flexible employees who could work across all areas. This benefited the business as we could flex our resource pool more effectively as volumes fluctuated. Given our business has 24/7 Production across six plants we need to have skilled employees available so obviously a flexible pool helps us to do this.”

Above Photo Staff from Hovis Belfast, proud to be the first L3 Food Manufacturing Excellence achievers with NFDT in Northern Ireland

Laura Mullholland HR Manager, Allied Bakeries Belfast Northern Ireland has seen our training offer grow to the following new companies: Grahams Dromore, Windsor Bakery and Country Kitchen adding another 38 candidates to our programme.

We continue our rewarding status as the preferred training partner of the Northern Ireland Bakery Council (NIBC) and continue our partnership with Belfast Metropolitan College to deliver Modern Apprenticeships.

37 candidates achieved their Modern Apprenticeships consisting of vocational training and essential skills during the last financial year.

“Asher’s Baking Co. has benefited tremendously from enrolling its apprentice bakers in the IPQ training provided by Scottish Bakers. We now have an enthusiastic and skilled team that can help our company grow and develop its staff.”

TRAINING OVERVIEW - REPUBLIC OF IRELAND We have been asked by the Flour Confectioners & Bakers Association (FCBA) to submit a proposal to the Irish government to set up a Bakery Apprenticeship programme. We are working on a submission in partnership with SOLAS (Further Education & Training Authority) and Quality & Qualifications Ireland (QQI) and the FCBA for a two year apprenticeship with independent assessments and specialist training provided by suppliers to the sector.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SCOTCH PIE AWARDS 2016 • 530 products were entered in the 2016 competition • By 103 of the nation’s best butchers and bakers • Judged by 51 experts & football legend Jim Leishman • 10 category winners selected • But only ONE World Champion Scotch Pie Scotland’s top crust butchers and bakers were on tenter-hooks as their best products were delivered into the hands of the judges of the 17th World Scotch Pie Championships.

Judging took place at Carnegie Conference Centre, Dunfermline on Wednesday 11th November 2015.

This year’s competition had over 100 butchers and bakers from all over Scotland deliver more than 500 of their best pies, and savories to the Carnegie Conference Centre where they battled it out for pie supremacy.

In addition to Scotch pies, contestants entered their best sausage rolls, speciality savouries, Scottish football pie, apple pie and savouries including, for the first time ever, a haggis category.

The competition aims to highlight bakers and butchers that create top quality artisan pastry products. The competition is designed to both reward excellence and challenge the industry to raise the bar.

The winner of the Scotch Pie category is declared as WORLD CHAMPION. 200+ hopefuls attended the awards luncheon at the Westerwood Hotel in Cumbernauld, hosted by TV presenter Carol Smillie. With each worthy category winner announced, the event came to an ecstatic conclusion when The Kandy Bar of Saltcoats were crowned Scotch Pie World Champions.

Thanks go to BAKO Northern and Scotland who again sponsored the competition.

to be the Head Judge, taking over from Robert Ross who had been looking after the competition from its concept. The number of entries increases year on year which goes to show how successful the competition has become as every single entrant strives to become the “World Scotch Pie Champion”.

We have a good depth of judges with a wide range of experience which ensures consistency across all of the product ranges. The judges are rotated around different product categories every year which also provides a fairness to the judging. The mystery shopping element ensures that the products entered into the competition are the same as the ones we can all buy every day of the week. The range of products in the competition are constantly evaluated to ensure that we have the right range with a macaroni pie category being added for the 2017 awards.

There is a huge amount of background work goes into making the competition the success which it truly is and to see the elation on the winners faces when they are announced in January makes it all worthwhile.

SCOTTISH BAKER OF THE YEAR JUDGING Judging over 600 products is no easy feat. Behind the scene, a countless number of hours are spent co-ordinating and organising the safe and timely delivery of over 600 products, spanning 110 Bakeries all over Scotland and the Islands.

Each product is coded for anonymity and placed in their correct category for judging. Over 50 expert judges have the dubious task of critiquing each product based on a set of strict criteria.

Every year I look forward to heading the judges evaluating the best bakery products that are available from Scottish bakers.

The procedure and process of judging is reviewed every year, as is the means of product evaluation.

The objective is to ensure consistency of judging coupled with credible evaluation. Evaluation of the process behind the baked goods competition starts after each year’s competition day in April.

All comments received on judging day by team leader and individual judges are reviewed with a view to implementing at the next SBOTY baked goods evaluation.

This worked well and with some fine tuning may also form part of the 2017 evaluation. The great thing about the Scottish Baker of the Year evaluation is that entry is by customer vote.The standard of goods received is generally very good and seems to improve each year. Every year unfortunately I see products being evaluated that are clearly not as the baker intended and would never have received customer acclaim, which is disappointing. I agree that only products from daily production should be entered, but would encourage entrants to take a little extra time in selection.

Going forward I’m looking forward to In 2016 the small cake class was evaluated in a different way. seeing all the wonderful bakery products The evaluation was split into two categories with the sale enter the next Scottish Baker of the Year price of the cake being the benchmark.

Scottish Bakers is a wonderful ambassadorial body and will lead our industry from strength to strength in terms of recognition at the ‘highest tables’ and providing embedded support for Bakers large and small.

Their Conference of the Year award was truly deserved.

Mark Tomlinson CEO, BAKO North Western Group

The Scottish Bakers Annual Conference remains the flagship event of the year for the association.

In December 2015 Scottish Bakers was delighted to win the top prize in the Conference Development Category at the UK Association Awards. The Awards judges were looking for the development of superior content, design, marketing, sponsorship and delegate & sponsor experience. The award recognised all of these areas taking into account the increased value to stakeholders, association members and growth year on year of the conference. The Scottish Bakers entry for the 2015 conference had this in abundance.

The 2016 conference saw Scottish Bakers build on the award’s success as once again members and industry supporters gathered at the Crowne Plaza in Glasgow on the 6th & 7th May. This year’s event saw a record number of attendees, with over 350 attending the regional awards and conference and over 470 attending the ‘Oscars of the bakery sector’, the national Scottish Baker of the Year Awards on the Saturday evening.

From 2pm Friday 6th May through to 2am Sunday 8th May saw Scottish Bakers host a non-stop programme of inspiring and informative speakers, exhibitors and entertainers who truly reflected the conference theme - Future proofing the industry.

PRESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION 2016-2018 Craig McPhie of McPhie’s Craft Bakers in Glasgow was installed as the President of Scottish Bakers at the 2016 conference, taking over from John Gall for a two year term, during which time he will take a leading role in helping to promote and steer the sector internationally, nationally and locally.

McPhie’s Craft Bakers was established in 1973 by Jim McPhie and Craig joined the business in 1985.

As a partner and Master Baker himself, Craig is passionate about the industry in Scotland and was keen to take up the role as President of Scottish Bakers at this challenging time for the sector.

In an emotional inaugural speech, Craig thanked his father Jim and his wife Lesley for their support and advice over many years “I have been passionate about our industry since the day I can remember. Even before I started primary school, I was going into the bakery to see Dad, taking the empty glass bottles out the milk crate then turning it upside down so I could stand on it to reach the old wooden table. I’d take my special wooden pin (which was not quite as thick as the others allowing my wee hands round it) and I’d help Dad pin out that days roll production. Happy Days indeed - and cheap labour for my Dad. So it is with real delight that I am stepping up at this challenging and exciting time to be President of Scottish Bakers. I am looking forward to working with the Scottish Bakers team and my peers to support our sector and bring growth and prosperity to us all.”

NORTHERN DANCE 2015 Scottish bakers in the North of Scotland gathered together for the Scottish Bakers Annual Northern Dance which was held at the Kingsmill Hotel, Inverness on Saturday 24 October 2015.

Over 80 guests enjoyed a sparkling drinks reception, followed by a sumptuous three course meal and entertainment

by Highland folk rock favourites TORRIDON. Regional Chairman, Fraser Gow hosted the dance and with his warm wit and style created a welcoming evening for all to enjoy. During the evening Fraser welcomed Past President Lewis Maclean and his wife Dianne, who were representing the President of Scottish Bakers John Gall; Alan Clarke, Chief Executive of Scottish Bakers; and also Past President George Ross George Ross who, as well as winning Retail Baker of the Year at the 2015/16 Scottish Baker of the Year Awards, had also recently been recognised for his contribution to the bakery industry at the Bakery Industry Awards in London.

After dinner Fraser delivered his Welcome Address before inviting Past President, Lewis Maclean on stage to give the Presidential Address on behalf of John Gall.

During this address Lewis surprised George Ross by inviting him on stage to formally congratulate him on his recent Outstanding Contribution to the Baking Industry Award. George has worked in the bakery industry from the age of 10, set up his own business as a young man and has turned it into a major business employing more than 300 people with a turnover in excess of ÂŁ11m. George very graciously accepted a Crystal Decanter presented by Lewis before entertaining the guests with stories from his past.

His trophy cabinet is indeed looking healthy.

Alan Clarke, Chief Executive then delivered a short presentation on the work of Scottish Bakers over the past year. Following these more formal proceedings, TORRIDON then took to the stage and it wasn’t long before the dance floor was full. The dance was once again a very enjoyable evening and the feedback we received was that a wonderful time was had by all.

I have to say that Michelle was on fire, her singing voice was faultless and she was very quick witted. Definitely had our table in stitches! The Blondie tribute band were very good and kept the dance floor busy. All in all another brilliant night with many great friends. Thanks Scottish Bakers.”

Linda Hill, Murrays Bakers, Perth It is without doubt that live entertainment from Dirty Harry at the Glasgow Presidential Dance on Saturday 27th February 2016 captured the rapture of Blondie and was one of the main highlights of our 2016 event.

A VERY SPECIAL CELEBRATION DESERVES A VERY SPECIAL CAKE “The association means everything to me. Scottish Bakers is so important and they do a wonderful job for their members.

So this is a great celebration” Robert Ross Scottish Bakers Honorary Member, Robert Ross has spent over 400 hours creating an incredible six-sided cake to mark the 125th Anniversary of Scottish Bakers.

The cake’s panels are made from an icing pattern so thin and delicate that you can see through it. The icing panels were all done by hand and the slightest touch could shatter this wonderful cake. The skill and hard work Robert put in was absolutely incredible and the cake is now proudly on display at Bakers House for current members and generations of future members to come and take a look.

SCOTTISH BAKERS TARTAN As a special gift to mark 125 year of Scottish Bakers, Carr’s Flour Mills registered an exclusively designed tartan. The unique tartan design reflects the fine-looking purple, green and yellow hues featured in the Scottish Bakers logo.

“We decided to present a gift to Scottish Bakers and our customer base as a thank you for their loyalty and support. We have ended up with an absolutely fantastic tartan that all bakers should be very proud to wear.”

SCOTTISH BAKERS EXPORT GROUP CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT The Scottish Bakers Export Group has continued to add members and momentum over the last 12 months in a steady fashion.

Martin Lightbody Export Group Chairman

Although very much in its early stages we have had great support from our Stakeholders, Scottish Development International, Scottish Agricultural Organisational Society and Scotland Food & Drink who have attended the meetings and are very much bought into our medium to long term strategy.

We are in the process of appointing a dedicated Global Advisor and we have taken learnings from the successful model that Scottish Dairy have implemented.

Membership includes bakeries from the central belt to as far as Orkney and Caithness and I am very much hoping to see excellent growth in Scottish Bakery export in the next 12-18 months.

Martin W. Lightbody Chairman

“Scottish Bakers Export Group members have continued to benefit from the SF&D Export Plan and in-market specialist team over the last year, along with wider SDI support - moving forward individual company export ambitions and working together to identify opportunities for a collective approach.”

Susan Beattie Head of Food & Drink and Textiles Scottish Development International The Scottish Bakers Export Group goes from strength to strength. Since the formation of the Export Group back in 2015 the group has increased its numbers to represent ten Bakeries.

Within this time, we have established strong relationships with SDI and the In-Market Specialists who are based in key export capitals all over the world: France, Dubai, Germany, Canada, USA West Coast, USA East Coast, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan & Russia. The group benefits from: • • • •

40 Group The 40 Group AGM took place on 26th August 2016 within Bell’s Food Group in Shotts.

Chairman Graeme Ford, Director of Premium Bakery, carried out his final formal duties before handing over to Alison Gilfillan of Bell’s Food Group. Alison was unanimously elected as the 2016-2018, 40 Group Chair.

The 40 Group provides invaluable friendships and networking opportunities engaging with fellow bakers.

Commenting on her appointment, Alison said: “It will be a great challenge for me and I feel honoured and privileged to have been given this opportunity.

My initial plans included raising the profile of the 40 Group and trying to reach out to employers who aren’t already involved. I will continue to liaise with our industry supporters to give 40 Group participants the opportunity to gain fantastic learning experiences that make a real difference.”

The highlight of 2016 was undoubtedly the study tour to Verona! The group were given the opportunity to visit the well-respected POLIN Factory and learn the secrets of Italian craft bakery. Invited and sponsored

by Brook Foods, it was an educational three day visit.

“The Polin visit was very interesting and informative.

The flour mill was impressive, I learnt things I didn’t know about flour grains” Dean Lawrence Goodfellows of Dundee Ltd

No. 2 region bakers We are proud to be the only region who still hold meetings with our members of No. 2 Region Our meetings are held at George Ross’s bakery and we have a bowl of soup and sandwich, which is always a pleasure to enjoy, while chatting about any issues we have within our industry. We discuss any environmental issues, pay structure, price increases and try and forecast any things happening in the future, which would affect our business.

Pamela Chalmers Chairperson Region 2

One of our outings was to Brewdog to see round their premises and hear all about their expansion plans.

We were treated to dinner at Mike Gillan’s house and Dawn cooked up a lovely meal for us to enjoy.

Unfortunately we didn’t have a golf outing this year, but it’s always good to get out in the fresh air and brush off the flour and enjoy a few rounds of golf.

Although we don’t meet too often, we are all at the end of a phone to give help and support to any of our bakery members.

SCOTTISH BAKERS CENTENARY CLUB The Centenary Club was set up following the SAMB 1991 Centenary Year celebrations. The comradery created between working and retired members of the Scottish baking industry during that year, in particular setting up the fantastic working bakery and shop at the Royal Highland show, led to the thinking that a Club for retired members would be a good idea, both to keep them in touch with what was going on in the industry and to give them a forum for meetings for lunch at which guest speakers could speak on matters of interest, as well as visits to places of interest.

Three Past Presidents served as the first convenors of the new Centenary Club: George Robertson, Sector 1 (north); Ian Terris, Sector 2 (south east); and Jim Lamond, Sector 3 (south west). Brian Tudor, a former director of Chancelot Flour Mill, was also heavily involved and for many years held a Centenary Club get-together during the annual conference at Peebles. Current convenors are respectively Fay Somerville, Robert Ross, and Jim Brown.

An annual all-sectors lunch is held at the Hunting Tower Hotel, Perth, organised in recent years by Fay Somerville. Sadly we lost Ian Terris, Jim Lamond and his wife Margaret in the last year and are thankful that they were at the 2015 all-sectors lunch along with Centenary Club members from all areas.

Members enjoy the Joint Centenary Club lunch in May 2016

Visits have been arranged to places of interest, such as the Scottish football museum at Hampden, and to bakery businesses, including: Tunnocks (you get two hair nets on arrival, one to wear and one to put samples in during your tour!); Stephen’s, with Andre’s motto ‘baking with passion’ being truly demonstrated; McGhee’s superb new bakery, with fabulous bacon (crispy) rolls for lunch: Aulds Delicious state-of-the-art dessert factory in Inchinnan and excellent products, together with many events in the north of Scotland.

25 years on, there is still a great desire for retired members to meet, and the Christmas and all-sectors lunches are still a very popular way of meeting up with old friends and making new ones.

We are grateful to Alan Clarke and Scottish Bakers for the practical and financial support they give to our activities and for the interesting updates Alan gives on the work of the association at our lunches. We were also pleased that the current President Craig McPhie’s first official event was our 2016 all-sectors’ lunch in Perth.

Our next event in central Scotland is our joint Sectors 2 and 3 Christmas lunch at Haggs Castle Golf Club and a visit to Carr’s flour Mill in Kirkcaldy is also planned for the New Year. Information on all future Centenary Club events will be sent to members via Scottish Bakers.

New members are always welcome - if you know of someone retired or about to retire, encourage him/her to contact the local Convenor or Scottish Bakers for further information.
