The Richemont Club of Great Britain Annual Competition

Baker’s Fair North West was such a success that The Richemont Club of Great Britain attracted over 300 entries into the 19 individual classes held on the day as well as seeing the launch of a new live competition to win The President’s Cup. The Richemont Club has members right across the country who represent some of the most creative and innovative bakery business and individuals in Europe.

The annual competition has rapidly become one of the most prestigious and fiercely contested in the UK and its past winners represent the crème de la crème of British talent.

The competition is open to Club members and staff within member businesses. To stimulate interest, staff members within one business are also allowed to compete against each other. But to help keep the classes open, only the highest placed from any one business can count towards the class total.

We have always been well supported by British Baker and joining with them for the second year at Bakers’ Fair North in Sheffield will raise the profile of our club even higher.
