Allied Bakeries was founded by Garfield
Weston in 1935. The company is a nationwide business
supplying over one-third of the UK bread market.
It is part of the Associated British
Foods Group (ABF) which also includes British Sugar,
Silver Spoon, Ryvita and Twinings. ABF has interests
throughout the world, from Poland to Australia, and
is involved in both primary food production, manufacturing
and retailing.
Allied Bakeries has 13 bakeries and
eight depots producing and distributing both branded
and own label bread and bakery products.
The company delivers 15 million loaves,
10 million rolls and 7 million crumpets to 16,000 outlets
each week.
The UK bread market is worth £1.4
billion a year, with over 98% of households buying bread.
Currently Allied Bakeries is the
largest supplier, followed closely by British Bakeries
(Hovis) and Warburtons. Its key customers are the large
multiples such as Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons
and Iceland.

Q: HOW DID THE IMPLEMENTATION GO?
A: We installed it about 9 or 10 months ago. We piloted it
on our helpdesk system which was an SQL server, and was important
but not critical. Then we piloted it on the Beacon, Diamond
and process control projects – so we have proved it on each
system and then bought the appropriate licences. One advantage
is that this is all back-office stuff, so the users don’t
see it and don’t need to learn it.
