Designer put through night shift

Andrew Throup, who has installed RedBlack Software’s CyBake business management software at bakers across the UK, joined the bakers on a couple of night shifts. He helped to make sourdough and prepped the next day’s orders.

“To go and work at a bakery and see how they actually use the records that we produce and to have some hands-on experience of their processes helps enormously,” said Throup. “I didn’t realise there was so much effort in making fancies: little cakes that go in the shop window – chocolate-covered ones with a few sprinkles on. A lot of time goes into making one of those things and they only cost about 60p.”

Thomsons Bakery is based in Westerhope Village, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It produces speciality breads such as Newcastle “Broon Ale” Bread, Genuine Geordie Stotties, Sunflower and Lemon Bread and Italian Stonecuts.
