Park Cake Bakeries
Park Cakes, which is one of Oldhams biggest employers with 1200 staff, can trace its birth back to 1937 when three men launched McDowell Cakes on a part-time basis from a “two up, two down” cottage on Hathershaw Lane, Oldham.
In 1948 the business changed its name to the Park Cake Bakeries and secured its first orders from Marks & Spencer.
Since 1986-87 the company has focused its business almost entirely on Own Label production with M & S accounting for most of its £70 million turnover.
Since 1994 Park Cakes has spent £5 million a year upgrading and modernising its bakery to meet M&S's exacting quality standards.
The company makes a wide range of products for its main customer, from Swiss rolls and Victoria sandwich cream cakes, to chilled pies and croissants.
It has a large group of bakers and chefs constantly developing new ideas and products for Marks & Spencer.
