Back-to-school lunchboxes just got an upgrade! 🍎

We’ve been looking into the biggest trends shaping canteens and school lunchboxes this autumn.

Here’s what’s taking over:

🌾 Wholegrain Goodness: There’s a demand for fresh, wholegrain, and less-processed staples. Think wholemeal loaves and seeded rolls replacing standard white bread.

🧃 Bite-Sized Snacking: Kids love variety! Individually portioned snacks, mini bakes, and bite-sized nibbles make lunchboxes way more fun (and easier to pack!)

🌶️ Global Flavour Twists: After trying new foods over the summer, kids will be craving bolder tastes. Classic lunchbox fillers are getting refreshed with global twists, from hot honey and exotic fruit!

What’s the next trend we’ll see in the canteen? Let us know in the comments!

This National Manufacturing Day, we're celebrating the people helping shape the future of manufacturing across Finsbury Food Group.

We believe that giving people the opportunity to learn, grow and progress is key to building the future of manufacturing. That's why we're investing in the Finsbury Academy and launching our new Manufacturing Pathways, giving colleagues clear routes to build skills, grow their careers and progress.

Congratulations to our latest learners and graduates, including Thomas Hansen, Jade Hegarty, Mark Quinn, William Greenfield and Scott Buchanan, who demonstrate what's possible when people are given the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed.

Because when people have the opportunity to grow, manufacturing has the opportunity to thrive.

Happy !

Did you know September is International Sourdough Month?

Started back in 2013 by the Real Bread Campaign, it’s all about celebrating real, additive-free baking and traditional fermentation!

Sourdough isn't just for home bakers, though. It’s been taking over foodservice menus everywhere.

Here are 3 big ways it’s reshaping how we eat out:

⭐️ An instant menu upgrade: Swapping standard bread for sourdough instantly gives cafes and restaurants a premium, artisan edge.

🍞 All-day versatility: From brunch toasts and lunchtime sandwiches to evening pizza bases, it’s an absolute pantry staple.

🍊 Fun new twists: We’re seeing sourdough everywhere now, including sourdoughnuts, cinnamon rolls, and fruit-filled doughs!
