About Fine Lady Bakeries

Fine Lady Bakeries is a long-established UK bakery brand specialising in the large-scale production of bread and fresh bakery goods. Operating from major sites in Banbury and Manchester, the company produces over three million loaves per week, supplying own-label products to leading supermarkets, wholesale and the sandwich manufacturing industry.

As part of the Heygates group, Fine Lady Bakeries has grown significantly, expanding its capacity and geographic reach to better serve national customer demand.

Its scale, technical capability and private-label expertise enable retailers to offer high-quality bread under their own brands. Industry accreditations, including BRC certification, reinforce its commitment to rigorous standards in food safety and manufacturing practices.
