Short profile:
The Federation of Bakers represents the interests of the UK's largest baking companies who manufacture sliced and wrapped bread, bakery snacks and other bread products. A industry employing 20, 000 people supplying 80% of the nation's bread. The Federation has 8 member companies running 46 bakeries in the United Kingdom. The Federation strives to deliver professional services to our members and other users of our services to an excellent standard and in genuine partnership with all our stakeholders; whether this is in the provision of advice, training or leadership in health and safety, or in our representational role lobbying on technical issues or promoting the consumption of bread through our PR work. The way we work is embodied in our core values.
Detailed description:
The Federation of Bakers believes that it should seek to exceed our stakeholders expectations of the organisation. We will do this by: Pursuing best practice in everything we do. Taking the lead in all issues relating to the bread industry. Being a repository of knowledge about and for the bread industry.
Developing our people to their full potential. The Federation of Bakers recognises that it can be most effective through an efficient use of its resources. This means that we work with those organisations best placed to make a difference on any particular issue to ensure their position coincides with ours but then to let them lobby to achieve the desired change where appropriate.
For example, UK industry-wide issues, such as employment legislation, we would work with the CBI; food industry-wide issues, such as nutrition labelling, we would work with the Food and Drink Federation (FDF). We would reserve to the FoB activity on those issues directly related to the bread industry, such as bread basket recovery or flour fortification, either in partnership with others or on our own. Similarly we are able to focus our work on our core competencies by outsourcing much of the administrative management of the Federation to the FDF, such as our reception, building maintenance, finance and IT.
