From the first seeds of wheat, to the golden toast on a breakfast table, bakery franchise Brumby’s Bakery has established a national footprint and holds a proud place in the industry’s history.

Since establishing in 1975, the brand has fostered a loyal following who, each year, buy more than two million loaves. Strong believers in giving back to the communities that have given them so much support, Brumby’s Bakery management have also developed a strong philanthropic arm throughout the years, donating leftover bread each day to shelters and charities, and fundraising for good causes.

To recognise the people who have made the brand the bakery stalwart it is today, Brumby’s Bakery is on the hunt for Australia’s best baker. The competition is being run across all Brumby’s stores, with managing director Matthew Marshall saying it’s terrific to see staff recognised in their local communities.

“While our customers are sleeping, our bakers are in store preparing and producing the freshest high quality bakery products,” he said.

“All our bread contains 100 per cent locally sourced Aussie wheat to ensure we are using only the best ingredients.”

Customers can enter the competition by nominating or voting for their local baker online via the brands website and Facebook page.
