Geary’s Bakery, headquartered in Leicester, UK, announced the opening of its third bakery. With the new facility, the company doubled its capacity and created 380 new jobs. Geary’s invested GBP 36 million in the new production site.

“Just part of our ambition to make proper bread more accessible to more people. Now, let’s bake!” the company highlighted, in a post announcing the new opening.

The family bakery, now in its fourth generation, was founded in 1902 and is known for its ‘Jason’s Sourdough’ range, which it has recently expanded. It focuses on long-fermentation bread, in small batches.
