The popular north of Scotland bakery has introduced a range of delicious pâtisserie to its shops across the Highlands and Moray.
Harry Gow has added the new French pastries to its range – inspired by the Gow family’s travels on the continent. Amongst the new goodies on offer are pains au chocolat and the long-awaited arrival of Harry Gow’s award-winning croissants, awarded a National Silver award at this year’s Scottish Baker of the Year Awards.
WE’RE INCREDIBLY PROUD OF OUR NEW PASTRIES. WE’VE BEEN WORKING HARD IN OUR TEST KITCHEN TO PERFECT EACH AND EVERY RECIPE, AND NOW WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE OUR CUSTOMERS TUCK INTO THE FRUITS OF OUR LABOURS!”
Fraser Gow, Director at Harry Gow
MACPHIE HIRES FOOD SCIENCE GRADUATE
Macphie has hired a local food science graduate to help perfect some of its popular products.
Dundee-local, Jamie McDonald, has secured a key new role at Macphie Ltd following a successful placement programme through Abertay University, with the manufacturer also providing a financial contribution towards his studies. The Aberdeenshire-based food ingredients firm welcomed Jamie for a three-month summer placement and has since offered him the full-time role of Product Designer where he will work within Macphie’s New Product Development team. The hire is part of an ongoing strategic partnership between Macphie and Abertay University in which the food firm hosts paid summer placements for students on the university’s Food and Consumer Science course, as well as providing each intern with £3000 to fund their studies through a scholarship initiated by Macphie.
WELCOME TO NEW MEMBER!
We’re delighted to welcome new member Lily Bakes Cakes of Glasgow to the association. Lily started the business whilst recovering from major surgery. Baking was her creative outlet during her recovery, and she began to post pictures of her creations on Instagram, which took off! This has led to the opening of a shop in the Partick area of Glasgow which is open on Saturday’s and Sunday’s as well as an online shop.
