Helpful sons on Fathers Day.

We had a leak at the factory in the drainage pipe, which meant that we had to be in on Fathers Day taking up the floor. Luckily for me, my two sons Robert and Matthew said that they would come in to help.

Sian talking to Careers Wales

Sian has recently been asked to feature in a video for Careers Wales to talk about what it is like to run her own business and the skills required in making cakes and patisserie.

We do a lot of work with schools and colleges hoping to inspire the next generation of catering students and we also have a number of students throughout the year on work placement.

Check out the video as there are some good clips of the factory in Port Talbot.
