Reporting on the awards, British Baker noted: ‘The judges described him as a as a “100% worthy winner” of the award, noting that he has come on “leaps and bounds” since his previous win in 2021. His passion for quality and innovation shines through in every product.’
It is the second time in three years that Tim has been presented with this award, sponsored by Campaign supporter Brook Food, and the tenth time in eleven years that a Campaign supporter has taken the title.
Real Bread Campaign coordinator Chris Young said. “Congratulations again, Tim! It’s always great to see a Real Bread baker getting the recognition they deserve.”
