Ginsters
Ginsters has grown from a small Cornish pastry manufacturer into one of the best known food brands in the country through a continued investment in its people, quality and its brand and facilities.
Today, the Ginsters brand is worth £150 million at retail prices, enjoying growth significantly ahead of that of the market in which it operates. This growth has been supported by a significant investment in its bakery in Callington, Cornwall.
