PRESIDENT’S WELCOME
John Gall, President
I am delighted to welcome you to the 125th Scottish
Bakers Conference Weekend, which has quickly become
a must attend event for the bakery sector. We have gone
from strength to strength over the last couple of years
and we were delighted to win the 2015 Best Conference
Award at the recent UK Association Awards for last year’s
conference and we have worked hard again this year to
maintain this high standard.
I would like to say a big thank you to our Organising
Committee, our Board for all of their support during
my two year Presidency and all of the Scottish Bakers
team led by Alan who have provided high quality
services to all of our members during this time.
The conference weekend starts on Friday afternoon
and we are delighted to welcome more than 30
exhibitors to our conference. These are a combination
of ingredient manufacturers, bakery wholesalers and
providers of professional and other services to our trade.
I would like to say a very big thank you to Louise
Reynard, Managing Director of Reynards, for sponsoring
the exhibition drinks reception and to Scottish Baker
Ambassador Mich Turner MBE who, along with myself,
will be visiting each of the stands.
After the exhibition we will have a break and the evening
begins with a welcome from Glasgow City Council, we are
delighted that once again they have very kindly sponsored
our Friday evening drinks reception.
After dinner we will have the Scottish Baker of the Year
Regional Awards where we have the opportunity to
4
celebrate the best of Scottish Baking. Following this
we will have dancing to the fabulous Roadrunner who
will play until midnight.
Mich is compering our conference this year and Saturday
starts with a little bit of fun, with our first ever Great
Scottish Bakory Off, where two teams from BAKO will
compete in a Generation Game style challenge!
It’s one not to miss.
Key speakers this year include Mark Tomlinson Chief
Executive Officer of the BAKO North Western Group
who are our Conference & Awards Partner. I would like
to thank Mark & his team for the support that they have
given us since they acquired BAKO Northern & Scotland
last year.
We welcome back James Withers & Tom O’Toole who
both have presented in previous years. James will be
giving us an update on the refresh of the food and
drink strategy for Scotland and Tom will be wowing
us with his enthusiasm for the bakery sector. Having
the opportunity to visit Tom last year at the Beechworth
Bakery was an experience I will always remember and if
you haven’t heard him before you are in for a treat!
As part of the work of our Export Group we will have
the opportunity to hear from Juan Carlos Jeffrey or
JC as he is known. JC is part of the Scottish
Development International Food and Drink specialists
who are now helping our members to sell products all
over the world.
Mich will be hosting a session entitled ‘We are the
Champions’ where we have the opportunity to learn a bit
more from the winners of the Scottish Baker of the Year
Awards, Gordon & Ian McGhee from D McGhee & Sons,
George Ross from JG Ross, Michelle Phillips from Mimi’s
Bakehouse, World Scotch Pie Champion Stephen
McAllister from the Kandy Bar and the winner of Craft
Bakers Week Most Loved Bakery in England Daniel Carr
from Warings Bakery.
After lunch Alan will present a review of our year including
showcasing our new online James Allan Bakery
Academy. The afternoon finishes on a very different note
with Scottish forensic mind reader Colin Cloud bringing
our conference to a close.
On Saturday evening we are delighted to have our
Presidential Drinks Reception sponsored by Sudzucker
UK, a big thank you to them. Following this we have our
Presidential Banquet and the Scottish Baker of the Year
Awards, again compered by Mich Turner. It is fantastic
to see the number of entrants and the pride and passion
that there is in the bakery sector in Scotland.
We have built strong links with our sister organisations, the
Craft Bakers Association, the Irish Association of Master
Bakers, the Flour Confectionery and Bakers Association
(of Ireland), the Federation of Bakers, the British Society of
Baking, the Association of Bakery Students & Trainees,
the Worshipful Company of Bakers and the British
Confectionery Association, and I am delighted to
welcome their Presidents and Board members here
at this year’s conference and awards.
We hope you enjoy our conference weekend and take the
opportunity to meet up with old friends and take the time
to make new ones. I look forward to seeing you all there.

MESSAGE FROM
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Alan Clarke, Chief Executive
Thank you for attending this year’s conference and we
are absolutely delighted to welcome you to our 125th
Anniversary Conference. We hope you agree that we
have a varied and interesting weekend ahead. Firstly, a
big thank you to our Conference & Awards partner BAKO
North Western Group and to all of our sponsors, without
whose support we would not be able to put on a
conference of this quality or to produce the Scottish
Baker of the Year Awards.
The level of support this year has been overwhelming and
we would encourage you to support all of our suppliers,
especially during the supplier showcase on Friday
afternoon where they have many offers including 5%
off all orders on specific products from BAKO North
Western Group. (terms and conditions apply).
Carr’s Flour has commissioned and registered a
Scottish Bakers tartan in commemoration of our 125th
Anniversary and we would like to say a massive thank you
for this thoughtful gift which will leave a lasting legacy for
the future.
We continue to work to deliver the 4P’s of our strategy: Raise the Profile of the sector; Influence Policy that effects
our sector; Enhance the Professionalism of our member’s
businesses; and Develop People to protect the much
needed bakery skills in our sector.
We continue to build our training capacity and capability
and have recently been awarded contracts to support
Apprenticeship Training within the Scottish Dairy Industry
and in partnership with the Flour Confectioners & Bakers
Association to establish a new Work Based Learning
Bakery Apprenticeship programme in the Republic of
Ireland. We have invested in developing our new online
James Allan Bakery Academy, which we will be
showcasing at the conference.
We continue to offer our Employment law helpline
through Lindsays solicitors and our food legislation & food
safety telephone helpline, provided by FoodChain ID
Europe, both of these services are going from strength
to strength.
We would like to encourage you to support the people
that support us. Without them we could not run the
Scottish Baker of the Year Awards or put on a weekend
event of this quality.
So BIG THANKS to BAKO North Western Group our
Conference and Awards partner. Our Gold sponsors have
sponsored both the conference and exhibition and the
Scottish Baker of the Year Awards, they are: Bakels, BFP

big thank you to each of them. Without the support of
all of our sponsors and exhibitors we could not put on a
conference or awards of this quality so please show them
your support.
Our Charity partner for our 125 Year is the Make-A-Wish
Foundation we hope that you support the great work that
they do in Scotland.
I would like to say a personal thank you to everyone
involved in Scottish Bakers. Without the help of my team
and the support of our Board we would not have achieved
so many things this year and it is testimony to the
commitment and teamwork of everyone involved.
I look forward to seeing you at the conference
and awards.
