About Us
Geary's are an entrepreneurial private bakery business based in Leicestershire supplying major retailers and foodservice customers. We have sales of £70m and aspire to be the UK's first choice for affordable high quality artisan bread at scale - unbeatable for Quality, Service, Innovation and Value-for-Money.

We have a proud and successful heritage stretching back 100 plus years, but we have a modern outlook and big ambitions. Recently we received significant investment from the Unsworth Family to accelerate our ambitious growth plans.

We believe that great bread takes time and care. We specialise in sourdough-based propositions and long-fermentation where the time and care make all the difference to the taste. We have a passion to create great quality bread by integrating the best of traditional bakery skills and modern manufacturing methods.

The business has grown rapidly from £5m in annual sales to £60m in the last 13 years with strong and consistent profitability. We have an ambition to increase sales to more than £100m in the next 3- 5 years. A clear Vision and Strategy has been articulated and this is being backed with major capital investment and a renewal and upgrading of the people, processes, and systems.

We are a two-site business having opened our new £15m state of the art bakery in Glenfield in 2018 along with our facility at Barrow-upon-Soar. Each site has its own particular focus. In total we have just over 450 employees.

At its core, our business is remarkably simple, with 80 SKU’s which includes 6 new sku’s launching September 2023, 10 Customers, and around 125 differing raw materials/components. Although this is getting more complicated as we grow, keeping things simple is a fundamental part of our business approach.
