We have had quite an eventful 2009. The bakery extension is now complete, we have developed several new products, won awards and developed our export market.

Wales True Taste Food & Drink Awards

Many of our customers may not be aware that we have been finalists for the past 3 years at these awards.

• 2007 1st prize for our Christmas mince pies
• 2008 1st prize for our steak pie, steak & ale pie and Christmas mince pie
• 2009 bronze award for our steak & stilton pie

It was announced at the 2009 event, that over 900 entries were received for the awards so we were very proud to be nominated as a finalist and to win a bronze award.

Quarterly Brochure

We are in the process of producing a quarterly freezebake brochure to show how active our product development department are. It will include any current offers and the first issue will be launched at the beginning of February. This will be available to all customers on our mailing list. If you don’t receive a copy or need another, contact us on 01792 579908 or sales@lewispies.co.uk or ask a Lewis'/Wendy driver. Maybe a good opportunity to make sure we have up to date contact details.
