California Cakes
Company
California is the UK's leading supplier of low fat slices to the multiple grocers, either under the retailers own brand, or via a co-manufacturing agreement with Anthony Alan Foods using the Weight Watchers brand. The business also acts as a consolidator for a number of smaller suppliers which gains those people access to the large grocery multiples of this world.
From 2003 to 2007, the business was based in a leasehold unit in Coatbridge. However, in July 2007 it was re-located for the second time in it's short history to the newly acquired Lightbody site in Hamilton just 8 miles away... and all the staff moved with it!
History
The business is relatively young in baking terms. Many baking firms are long established and have their roots in local high street bakery chains. California was set up in the 1980’s, and has been through a number of hands in that time until finally finding its niche in the Enterprise Food Group in 2000. Since then, the business has moved from its site in Govan to its current premises in Coatbridge, and quadrupled in size.
By 2005, Enterprise had developed a supply chain system for smaller bakeries which it was keen to focus its energy upon ... so along came Finsbury, and in November the business joined the Group.
