Warrens Bakery

Warrens Bakery is a company based in Cornwall in the United Kingdom, which is Britain's oldest Cornish pasty maker, having been established in St Just in 1860.[1] Previously a family-owned business, in 2012 it became a limited company having attracted outside investors including current chairman Mark Sullivan, following a period in which "competition from rival companies had affected the business".[2][1] Between March and October 2012, the business closed five stores and a wholesale unit, and made 12 members of staff redundant. As of January 2012, Warrens is the largest chain of bakeries in South West England, with 50 shops in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset, and employing 480 people. It also sells products online and through other retailers via its wholesale brand, Simply Cornish.[1]
