Henllan Bakery

A little about us

Having opened the first bakery in 1908, it could be said that the Moore family know a thing or two about baking. Henllan Bakery is still situated on the same site it was in 1975, but has been greatly extended. We now employ 150+ staff and have over 20 delivery vans delivering fresh produce six days a week, around Wales and North west England.

Our History

How we got here

Llew Willams establishes cottage bakery Bryn Helyg

Until the late 1920’s, the Family run bakery would transport baked goods by horse and cart in the village and it’s surrounding areas. In time, motorised transport was introduced to transport baked goods, allowing deliveries to a wider customer base.

Llew retired in 1971 at the age of 80, leaving the business to his daughter Lois, son-in-law Frank and their son Wyn

It wasn’t until later, in 1973, that Wyn’s brother Harvey joined the business, and both sons persuaded Lois and Frank to expand the business further to produce more lines and gain extra customers.

In 1975, the family took the plunge and bought a purpose-built bakery 20 miles down the road in the Vale of Clwyd. The 1-acre plot had plenty of room for expansion and soon started to grow. The business grew from employing 18 staff to 35 in the following years

It continued to grow and in the early 2000s, the bakery welcomed Wyn’s son Tom, a baker and Harvey’s son Jonathan an engineer. Years later, the bakery saw the addition of Wyn’s son Ed and Harvey’s daughter Ainslie.
