Ollie Johnston has extensive experience as a baker nationally and has been with the company at its bakery in Abbeydale Road for the past five months.
“Ollie relocated to Sheffield from Somerset and immediately impressed the whole team with his experience and dedication,” said Forge Bakehouse Head of People, Products and Customer Experience Michael Bevan.
“We believe in promoting from within the team wherever possible and Ollie really has proved himself to be the ideal candidate for his new role.
“He now has responsibility for heading the bakery team and leading the way as we introduce our new range of products.”
