Family owned fifth generation Hobbs House Bakery, based in Gloucestershire, has received the 2025 King’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development.
The bakery, originally based in Chipping Sodbury, and now with locations in Nailsworth, Tetbury and Bristol, became a Certified B Corporation back in 2019. The business has since introduced electric delivery vehicles, solar panels, green energy and its “zero bread to landfill” policy.
One of only 27 UK businesses to receive this award and one of three in Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire, the award recognises the company’s outstanding achievement in its sustainability work.
Going forward, the aim is to source 100% of its grain from organic or regeneratively farmed land by 2032, to continuously train new bakers through its apprenticeship programmes, to invest in their development to increase capacity for future growth and to send surplus bread to local community initiatives that tackle hunger.
