5-Star food hygiene achievement for the Jenkins Bakery!



The Jenkins Bakery is celebrating a clean sweep of 5-Star food hygiene certificates at all of the firm’s outlets.
The Llanelli-based firm has 29 shops across South Wales.
And they have all received the top rating after visits by food hygiene inspectors.
“By any standards, it is quite an achievement,” said David Jenkins, Commercial Director at the Llanelli-based business.
“The inspectors arrive unannounced, which is no problem at all for us as we aim to always be at the top of our game as far as food hygiene is concerned.
“We have stores across a number of local authority areas, so it is another feather in our cap that we have been able to meet any specific ‘local’ tests from inspectors.
“Of course, the hard work is put in by our staff. They deserve a great deal of praise for always making sure food hygiene is a priority for us.
“Our company history dates back to 1921. We have a proud tradition and reputation as a company and building on that reputation is important to us. The confidence of our customers is very important to us. The customer is king in this business.
“The award of 5-Star food hygiene certificates across the board in our shops is wonderful news and something we can take great pride in.”
The Jenkins bakery employs 300 people, full and part-time, across 29 different stores in South Wales.
The company has the Gold Standard Welsh Food Hygiene Award and the Investors in People award.
The business employs 70 people at its Trostre HQ, while the Jenkins shop network stretches from Carmarthen to Bridgend. There are 14 shops in Carmarthenshire and even one as far afield as Powys.
In recent months, the company has opened new shops in Porthcawl and Briton Ferry.
The company was runner-up in the Swansea Bay Business Life South Wales Evening Post Business of the Year competition this year.

About the food hygiene scheme
The food hygiene scheme helps people choose where to eat out or shop for food by giving you information about the hygiene standards in restaurants, pubs, cafes, takeaways, hotels, supermarkets and food shops.
The scheme is run by local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in partnership with the Food Standards Agency.
Each business is given a ‘hygiene rating’ when it is inspected by a food safety officer from the local authority. The hygiene rating shows how closely the business is meeting the requirements of food hygiene law.
When you eat out or shop for food, you might see a sticker in the window or on the door, or a certificate on display, showing you the hygiene rating for that business. Businesses are encouraged to display these stickers and certificates at their premises in a place where you can easily see them when you visit.
If you’re planning to eat out or buy food, you can search this website to find out if the scheme is run in your area. You can only search for hygiene ratings of businesses in areas where the scheme is run.

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Image
Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac
