Patricia retires from Jenkins Bakery
The Jenkins Bakery in Llanelli has said a very fond farewell to one of the firm’s longest-serving employees.
Patricia Hazard, area retail manager, has retired after almost 24 years service with the Jenkins Bakery.
“We are very proud of the fact that we are a family-run business with a host of employees who chalk up more than 20 years with us,” said Operations Director Russell Jenkins.
“Pat has made a significant contribution to the success of the business over the years and work colleagues and customers will miss her. However, we would like to wish her a well-deserved, long and healthy retirement.”
Patricia said: “I have been with the company for almost 24 years and have enjoyed every moment. Since I began in 1987, I have been privileged to see the company grow from five to 25 shops and been part of its development into one of the most successful family bakery businesses in Wales.
“I would like to thank the Jenkins family for employing me. They have given me the opportunity for professional and personal development over the years. It has been a privilege to work for such a prestigious organisation.
“I would like to wish the company all the very best during its 90th anniversary year.”
The Jenkins bakery employs 300 people, full and part-time, across 25 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 13 shops in Carmarthenshire and even one as far afield as Powys.
