Our Ethos

Innovation, Sustainability, and People at the Heart

At The Lewis Pie Co., our ethos blends cutting-edge technology, lean manufacturing, and genuine care for people and planet. Every pie, pasty, and roll we make is shaped by principles that put quality, responsibility, and partnership first.
READY FOR TOMORROW

Principles You Can See in Action

Our ethos is more than words — it’s a daily commitment to smarter, cleaner, customer-focused food manufacturing. This means transparent, ethical sourcing from trusted suppliers, building long-term partnerships based on trust, investing in robotics and automation to upskill our team, and maintaining a full-time technical team of four dedicated to ensuring BRCGS and beyond compliance.

Smarter Production, Faster Results

Agile, Data-Driven Manufacturing

We combine JIT manufacturing with smart stockholding to deliver lower costs, higher value, and lightning-fast responsiveness. Live KPI dashboards across site give our teams the tools to identify bottlenecks, boost output, and adapt quickly to change.

  • Predictive order modelling for high-volume clients

  • Quick-changeover systems to minimise downtime

  • Live run rate, yield, and energy monitoring

  • Continuous improvement culture driven by weekly reviews
Practical Green Innovation

Sustainability That Works in Practice

From our 450kWh solar array to packaging strategies that cut waste, sustainability is part of our DNA. We design every process from oven configurations to blast freezing to save energy, lower carbon, and deliver more value for our customers.

  • Half of daytime operations powered by solar

  • Fully audited waste, recycling, and packaging systems
  • Energy-optimised cooking and freezing methods
  • Shared knowledge to support greener supply chains

at the Heart of Growth

People First

Many of our team have been with us for years, growing their skills and careers in a supportive workplace. From our culture team to monthly “feed ups,” we keep our people at the heart of everything.

Expanding Sustainably, Growing Together

Growth With Purpose

Expansion at Lewis Pies is driven by impact - greener practices, new markets, and opportunities for our people to thrive.

Case Study - Rack Utilisation

Making Every Rack Count

By reviewing oven loading patterns, manufacture numbers and rack consistency, we found opportunities to bake more with less energy. The result: improved throughput, reduced baking time, and lower energy costs without compromising quality.

Case Study - Powered by the Sun

Solar in Action

Our 450kWh solar array now powers around half our daytime operations, cutting our reliance on the grid and reducing carbon emissions. Added in two sections and self funded we are committed to the environment. This investment pays back in both environmental impact and cost stability for our customers.
