AN independent bakery on Tyneside has seen sales increase by 20 per cent at some of its outlets, following its move to a new production facility.
North East Bakery relocated to a multi-million pound factory in Newcastle, after purchasing part of high-street baker Milligans for an undisclosed sum.
In its first week at the new site, production increased by 25 per cent.
North East Bakery, which operates under the Nichols brand, has now added 12 product lines ahead of schedule due to its early success.
Managing director Greg Phillips said sales and customer spend had increased significantly.
"The relocation to the new bakery has been very successful, and by integrating the skills and expertise of both North East Bakery and former Milligans staff, we have been able to maintain our high standards," he said.
