Scottish Bread Championship Supreme Champion 2023, Scottish Bread Championship Joint Supreme Champion 2022 & multiple Gold winner.

Their new bakery location with a fabulous cafe is at Eskmills Business Park.

Ben’s dedication to provenance extends not only to carefully sourcing specific flours and grains for his delicious nutritious loaves but also milling much of it in-house to ensure exactly the product he desires. There is a great range of loaves from wholegrain to focaccia, baguettes to rye breads and multiseed all available via the online shop for wholesale and home delivery in Edinburgh. They also minimise their use of plastic and collaborate to reach zero-waste in all they achieve. Ben is a trailblazer and many local restaurateurs appreciate and regularly order his loaves.

The cafe, with seating inside and out, is light and airy with full height windows into the bakery – a viewing gallery into the heart and soul of Company, as they measure, knead, shape and bake. The cafe also sells Ben’s own artisan vinegar, Blackthorn Salt and a selection of other carefully selected gastronomic favourites. Apart from a wonderful range of loaves on sale, there are cookies, gourmet sandwiches & patisserie to savour with your tea & coffee.

After years of wholesale, they turned their attention to keeping homes well-fed and hope to help foster strong communities with their new delivery service, encouraging locals to collaborate & order.  To Order Online

This award-winning bakery is the brainchild of 5 directors: chef Ben Reade, Duncan and Amy Findlater who own Smith & Gertrude, Hollie Love Reid who owns Nice Times Bakery and Lovecrumbs, and Sashana Souza Zanella. Rather a supergroup with everyone bringing their own expertise to the table to get it started! Ben and Duncan run it day to day, but Hollie is also involved. Ben has now extended and developed that original concept into an impressive venue in East Lothian.
