Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

New Business of the Year

THIS is for the business which has been operating for less than a year and can show imagination, sound planning, exceptional marketing and great delivery.

We want to hear about the concept for the business, how it was devised, and what market research was undertaken.

How was the business plan put together? What are the main objectives? What advisers were recruited to help with budgeting and professional matters?

Your submission might include your sales and marketing plans and how IT has been embraced.

We would like to know what the management structure of the company is and what projections there are for growth and employment opportunities.

Last year’s winners were Edward Street Bakery (pictured above), a Saltaire-based business run by owner Lisa Fraser.

With a friendly, uplifting vibe, this craft bakery supplies establishments throughout the area, takes stalls at local food markets and runs pop-ups from time to time selling directly to loyal customers.

The company regularly gives back to the community by supporting charity events, most recently Bliss’s work at Airedale General Hospital’s neonatal unit.

Don’t let its diminutive size fool you, however, as the bakery has already gathered a faithful following.
