It’s with [very!] mixed emotions that I write this, but it’s time to announce that I am closing the bakery. This is a decision that I’ve been going over for the past 6 months or so…and then an opportunity came along that really cemented it in my mind. Sometimes I feel you just get to a point where you want to make some changes, face new challenges and prioritise different aspects of life. I’m 40 this year for Christs sake.
Setting up the bakery to the point where it is today has been an incredible journey, a huge learning curve and at times extremely stressful. However I feel immense pride that I set up Modern Provider from nothing, baking with a domestic oven in my flat and walking deliveries around Margate. My main aim was to integrate with the food community here, and to create the best products I could at the fairest prices. I feel on the whole that I achieved that, and have been proud to work with some fantastic local businesses as well as fantastic customers. I send so much thanks to each and every one of you because you’ve made the bakery what it is and pushed me to better myself again and again. I thank everyone who’s worked at the bakery too, those people have been the face of Modern Provider, rather than me, and those friendly faces are who greet you each time you come in to buy something. Margate has changed so much in recent years and I feel happy that the bakery has felt like a constant and consistent entity throughout that.
Running a business is not something to enter into lightly and I genuinely take my hat off and have deep respect for any local business out there doing their own thing.
With the bakery closing, it means the space will become available for another business to take on. Everything is up for discussion but there is an opportunity for the space to be left with most of the basic equipment to run a food business easily. If you are at all interested, please send me a direct message or pop in to have a chat and a look round.
The last day will be Saturday June 7th, and I hope to make it a celebration. Also, if you’ve always fancied something from the ‘wall of fame’ or any of my other tat now’s the time to make me an offer as I don’t really have room in my house for it all…
Thank you again everyone for the last 8 years. I’m still going to be baking, just in a slightly different set-up, so I’m sure I’ll see you around
