HAND CRAFTED LOCAL BAKING SINCE 1996
HAND CRAFTED LOCAL BAKING SINCE 1996
OUR STORY
Fullers Bakery was founded in 1996 by George and Heather Fuller as a traditional craft bakery – which inspired our strapline: “Hand crafted local baking.” George began his baking career at just 16, starting an apprenticeship with a local bakery in Stockton-on-Tees. He later completed a four-year bakery course at the former Thomas Danby College in Leeds, earning his professional qualifications while gaining hands-on experience in everything from baking to ingredient supply. His ambition to own a bakery came true with the creation of Fullers Bakery. Heather worked in the same bakery while studying and went on to teach modern languages for 20 years. However, her passion for baking never left her, and she spent many school holidays working in bakeries. Eventually, she left teaching and joined George in their new business venture.
