Cornish Bakery stands as a refreshing benchmark in the hospitality sector, proving that a deep-rooted purpose to "nourish people" can drive record-breaking results. With over 800 employees and a footprint exceeding 70 bakeries, the organisation has successfully scaled its Cornish roots into a national mission to "change hospitality for good". By prioritising a culture where decisions are made "in the bakery, not the boardroom," they empower teams to lead with autonomy.

Central to their success is a commitment to authentic career longevity. Through the SHINE and RISE programmes, the company has transformed hospitality from a transitional job into a rewarding career path; currently, 67% of management appointments are internal. This growth is supported by a robust Wellbeing framework, including a 24/7 GP line, an Employee Assistance Programme, and an Employer-funded healthcare cash plan, ensuring staff are supported both physically and mentally.

Whether through the inclusive Nata Group Facebook forum or the high-energy Annual Team Gathering, Cornish Bakery fosters a sense of belonging. By combining competitive rewards, such as the Company ownership loyalty scheme, with a genuine dedication to local communities, they are not just baking pasties; they are nourishing a world-class workplace culture.
