SIGNATURE FLATBREADS is an award winning  bakery with a truly international outlook.  The business was founded in 1984 by Dr Samir Eid, of Lebanese ancestry but born in Ghana (previously the Gold Coast) in 1932. 

Dr Eid descended from a family of bakers who left the Middle East to settle in Africa as far back as the first World War.  Motivated by his exposure to various cultures and traditions, he had a passion to bake the breads of the world and to introduce them to consumers in the UK.  He also wanted his Children; Coreen, William and Charles to continue in the family baking tradition.  He started a small bakery in the East of London and waited for his children to complete their education. Coreen studied Law, Charles Medicine and William Engineering.  They all joined the bakery business to become third generation bakers.

In Ghana, the family still operates Piccadilly Biscuits Ltd, which employs 600 people.  Piccadilly celebrated its 60th anniversary this year and became famous for Choco Cookies that are made using high quality Ghanaian cocoa.

When the Signature UK bakery was incorporated In 1984, few in the UK had been exposed to Pittas, Naans and Tortillas.  The bakery was one of the first to introduce Pitta to the UK Supermarket Industry and the very first to launch Naans and Tortillas commercially in the UK.  Tortillas volumes were very small when they were initially launched because people did not know what to do with them.  However, it was just a matter of time, a decade in fact, before their versatility made them more popular.   Also, whilst flatbreads were once regarded as “ethnic breads”, they are no longer so today.  Pitta is not necessarily Cypriot, Tortillas not necessarily Mexican and Naans are not only part of the national British dish, the curry, they are also used as Pizza bases.  Whilst the Signature bakery was the very first in the UK to introduce Naans commercially, the success and popularity of the breads became a catalyst for their adoption by many supermarkets across the world, including throughout the US and Australia.

Flatbreads are now mainstream in many countries across the world and their appeal continues to increase as consumers seek a variety of eating options.  Signature is entirely focused on growing this category for its customers and continues to create a range of new flatbreads to delight the consumer.   Signature’s innovation pipeline is so rich that the “Deli Kitchen” brand was created twelve months ago to create a channel to market for new breads. The Deli Kitchen brand made it possible for the company’s innovations to be adopted and tested by its customers quite quickly whilst keeping their offering interesting.   Signature’s willingness to use the brand as a platform to test new concepts and to transition to own-label at a future date has encouraged adoption of the brand by the supermarket industry.  Charles Eid commented; “Our team is bursting with new ideas which we would like to test and we are delighted that our Deli Kitchen brand is universally recognised for the innovation that it brings.  Our ultimate goal is to grow the flatbread category for our customers and we will work tirelessly to do just that.”  The brand has already exceeded expectation, reaching multi-million turnover in just over twelve months.

Deli Kitchen branded breads include a very thin wrap with half the calorie content of a Tortilla and a sliced Focaccia for sandwich making which is topped with virgin olive oil.   A very recent launch is a Greek style flatbread wrap which is soft and flexible for a more substantial eat.  The business continues to invest in people, equipment and innovation and has done so without focus on short term economic trends.  Rather, it is locked on the longer term objective of growing its category, both in the UK and internationally.

Shortly after the opening of a £10m extension to its bakery in Dunstable in 2016, an event attended by Rt Hon George Eustice MP, Signature Flatbreads won the Bakery Manufacturer of the Year award.  Charles Eid commented: “We are delighted to win (this) award.  We have an exceptional team of people who are absolutely committed to delivering stand out bakery products and outstanding customer satisfaction in what is a very competitive marketplace, so to be recognised for the quality of our work and products means a great deal.”

Rt Hon George Eustice MP flanked by William Eid (left), Charles Eid (right) and various members of the Signature team.

In November 2018, Signature Flatbreads’ Joint CEOs Charles and William Eid won the prestigious Entrepreneur of the Year award at Insider’s Central & East Dealmakers Awards.  The event celebrates the success of outstanding individual achievements as well as those of corporate finance firms, funders and others.

In February 2019, Signature Flatbreads won the Insider Made in Central & East England ‘Food Manufacturer of the Year’ award; for companies with a turnover over £25m. The awards celebrate businesses from across the region that have been recognised by a panel of independent judges having demonstrated success in innovation, product development and growth, in either domestic or overseas markets.  Mr David Laurence, Joint Managing Director of the UK business commented; “We are delighted to have won such a prestigious award. We are constantly innovating and evolving the manufacturing elements of the business and this award is a testament to the continuous work we put into improvement. We eagerly anticipate the national awards later on this year.”

Signature’s success in export markets has been particularly noteworthy.  The UK business exports to many countries in Europe and to the US.  From time to time, the UK business exports to Russia and China also.  Famously, the business exports Crumpets to Japan.

Signature Flatbreads this year achieved both “Gold” and “Silver” at the 22nd Annual Royal Hobart Fine Food Awards in Australia. The “Seeded Flatbun” took Gold at the prestigious awards and the “White Flatbun” won a Silver.  The flatbreads, stocked at supermarkets in Australia, received between 90-100 points to achieve the top accolade at the awards.

David Laurence commented; “As third generation bakers we use our experience and bespoke approach to create quality flatbreads that meet the needs of the consumer.  We are delighted to have had our products recognised and securing two awards at such a highly respected industry event is exceptional, particularly given the distance between the UK and Australia.  This success is testament to the pride our people take in the breads we bake and to how these breads are enjoyed worldwide.”

Signature’s Indian breads became so popular, they were also sold in India.  The shareholders of the business eventually founded a bakery in India which has today grown to employ over 200 people.  The company is baking Indian breads, in India, for the Indian consumer.  Amongst the range are Chapati, Kulcha, a variety of Parathas, Theplas, Pooris and more.

Signature India also supplies a wider range of non-Indian flatbreads, including Tortillas, various sandwich carriers and Pizza bases and these are sold into the Indian domestic market and in export markets beyond India also. Export destinations include the Middle East, Africa, Malaysia and Korea. 

About the success of the venture in India,  William Eid reflected that;  “Venturing into new markets requires that you learn about your customers and that you adapt to their needs quickly.  The quicker you learn, the quicker you can start to make progress.  A passion for your craft will give you the stamina you will need to recover from setbacks.”

On a recent visit to Signature Flatbreads, Rt H Elizabeth Truss MP commented; “Selling Naan breads in India from a company based in Dunstable would once have been unthinkable” and is the “ultimate embodiment of global Britain”.

Underpinning the company’s success are its corporate values and these are published on its website, under the following caption;

“Our commitment to providing product quality and excellence, in everything we do, is central to our success.”

Signature Flatbreads achieved an AA+ rating at an unannounced BRC audit which took place at various locations in recent  months.  All production and warehousing sites at the Dunstable bakery were audited and standards were surpassed in all areas, resulting in the top score possible.

Duncan Campbell, Technical Director at Signature Flatbreads, says: “At Signature Flatbreads we pride ourselves on our high standards in all parts of the production process. Consistent standards of excellence enable us to produce a range of high quality, great tasting and innovative products that help our customers to grow their own businesses. We commend our team for continuing to strive for the top standards possible.”

In appreciation for its people and their contribution, Signature pays above average rates for its staff.  In the UK, it has adopted the Real Living Wage, despite a backdrop of economic uncertainty.

Zizou Benchaoui, Joint Managing Director of the UK businesses commented: “Our business is only as good as the people who work within it, and we are fortunate to have a dedicated and loyal workforce. Baking top quality flatbreads is essential to our success and we believe that this significant and ongoing investment in our people is a recognition of their importance to us and gives a clear signal to the industry of our confidence as a business.”

Following a highly successful year in 2018, Signature Flatbreads has installed two large high capacity production lines in Dunstable this year with an outlay of £8m.  The new lines have created 50 additional jobs this year alone.  The business now employs 950 people and continues to grow.

Organic and Natural Co., Ltd is a Thai company that produces 100% organic coconut water and coconut meat.

We started in 2006, so 15 years experience about coconut: domestic and export.

Over the years, we have developed our own processes and technology to keep our products fresh, safe and consistent in taste.

Currently export Private label and OEM to USA, Canada, UK, Dubai, Czech republic ,Spain ,China and Hong kong in two concept : frozen product and HPP processed products.

Our own brand " Never More Than 28 Days " is distributed in Thailand and Hong Kong at the moment.

"Never More Than 28 Days" is a 100% raw organic coconut water with no artificial substance added and made with Thailand's "Nam-Hom" Coconut that is well-known as the world tastiest coconut and for its light pink color.

"Never More Than 28 Days", 100% raw organic coconut water (Nam-Hom) is made from young aromatic coconuts from our organic farms which have been certified by USDA organic from the USA and EU organic from Europe.

Why never more than 28 days? ▪ After 3-4 years, a well planted coconut tree will have its flower branches (which will turn into coconuts) ▪ These branches of flowers will grow in pair, each pair will bloom approximately 20-28 days after one another. ▪ Then six months afterwards, the best coconuts are ready to be collected. ▪ Another branches should be collected in order 20-28 days after one another. ▪ Coconuts which are cultivated before 20 days will have less meat and the water will be sour. ▪ Coconuts which are cultivated after 28 days will have plenty of meat but the water will be tasteless. For these reasons, the best coconut water must be collected between 20-28 days after the cut of the branch. So the heart of obtaining the most tasty (NAM-HOM) coconut water is to carefully set the right harvesting period.

Every coconuts we use has a document which certifies that they have been planted strictly in organic method. Furthermore, the period of their harvest has been strictly scheduled in order to have the best and the most natural flavored coconut water.

The process we use for "Never More Than 28 Days" 100% raw organic coconut water (Nam-Hom) is called High Pressure Processing (HPP).

Unlike pasteurization, HPP process does not heat organic coconut water and so preserves all micro-nutrients, vitamins, enzymes and aromas.

Our bottles are immersed in a cylindrical chamber of the HPP machine filled with water at 10 ° C, then the water is subjected at 6000 bar pressure for 3 minutes: the equivalent of a dive 60km underwater.

The coconut water is virgin and pure like if you just open it !

Our Factory certified by Food and Drug Administration (FDA), BRC Global Standard for Food Safety Version 8, HACCP and GMP Quality. There are intensive checked in every step of the process in order to produce high quality raw coconut water which we always delicate to achieve.

Two associates, both with a professional background in the wine trade, one as a winemaker and the other as a supermarket wine buyer, combined their passion and knowledge to bring to the consumer the best that Portugal has to offer.

Our goal was to create and promote wines from the top winemaking regions in Portugal and make them available across the globe.

DOZO, the first cool, refreshing drink with Japanese artisanal tea, that you make yourself !

WHAT IS DOZO?

We have developed a way to consume fresh artisanal teas "ON THE GO" with a shelf-life worth of 24 months !!! 

Matcha tea / Japanese teas are in fact SUPERFOODs, with unique nutritional qualities. DOZO Tea has created a new, totally natural and preservative-free drink that you make yourself at the time of drinking. Our teas are never heat pasteurised. They use a cold temperature traditional Japanese stone-grinding process to keep-in all the many nutrients’ goodness…! On top of the authentic craft fabrication process we added technology --> That is what makes our product so unique!

The stone-ground tea experience by DOZO: Matcha has recently become popular worldwide but it has a history in Japan that stretches back centuries. We have applied the same traditional method of stone-grinding tea used to make a fine matcha powder to other fine Japanese teas like our Wakocha black tea, our Hojicha roasted green tea, our Gyokuro refined shaded tea, or our Genmaicha roasted puffed rice & sencha green tea. Stone ground teas take tea to the next level. Experience taste like no other; instead of brewing the tea in your cup, you are stirring it in! Which means a fuller texture and so much more flavour! Whole leaves are consumed enabling one's body to absorb 10x the antioxidants, nutrients, and caffeine compared to steeped tea.

All our teas are produced in Japan from 100% whole tea leaves, unlike tea powders or extracts available elsewhere on the market. Once picked our tea leaves are dried, deveined, and finally stone-ground at cold temperature into a very fine powder at our partners’ 80 years old atelier in Kyoto.

And... carefully hand-made by artisans, using ONLY the freshest spring harvest' leaves a.k.a SHINCHA, pesticide and chemical free tested.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is rumoured in the land of the rising sun that matcha tea is the secret of Japanese longevity and good health. For matcha tea is in fact a superfood, with unique nutritional qualities. It is from this exquisite symbol of Japanese tradition, that Dozo has created a new, totally natural, preservative-free drink, that you make yourself at the time of drinking, thanks to a revolutionary new stopper, by mixing the tea with a particularly mild-tasting spring water. Artisanal Japanese tea is combined with a neutral-tasting mineral water so as to leave room for the tea to express itself. But where does this tea come from? DOZO's matcha is grown in the heart of the Shizuoka mountains, near Mount Fuji. It is produced using an eight-century-old technique called tana, in which the bushes are shaded by nets, resulting in higher quality leaves. From the growing of the tea and the careful picking of the first shoots in May, to the roasting and drying of the leaves in the tencha-ro oven, and finally, their grinding with granite mill stones, no stage is neglected in order to ensure that this green gold develops and retains its exceptional flavor. Based in Japan, the Dozo team is able to keep a close eye on the quality of the product (grown without pesticides), the environmentally-friendly production facilities (hybrid farms producing solar energy) and the well-being of the producers (application of fair trade principles). The traditional Japanese tea ceremony has many stages and can last up to four hours...Dozo maintains the same rigorous standards in terms of quality, but takes a more modern approach, with a somewhat shorter ceremony, more suited to the 21st century lifestyle. Enjoy our tea on the go, in the office, at home, before or after sport : this natural, premium quality, refreshing drink offers a new approach to drinking tea, inviting you to participate in a remarkable meeting between traditional Japanese culture and our modern way of life.

Discover the wildly popular N° 1 brand of Japanese Ume fruit liqueur: Umeshu

Umeshu has undergone significant changes over the years, particularly in terms of the alcohol in which the ume are soaked to produce the final beverage. At first, the fruit was soaked in koshu, a type of aged sake; this was later replaced with single-distilled shochu, then multiple-distilled shochu.

Here at CHOYA, we are committed to meeting the ever-changing needs of our ever-diversifying customer base by using our knowledge as Umeshu experts to create ever better products. We will continue to work with a large number of ume growers in Japan, making full use of the fruit they cultivate with such care and expertise, in order to realise innovation and excellence in our Umeshu.

CHOYA is responsible for the development of Umeshu into a commercially viable product. There are many brands on the market today, and their products are of varying quality. In the midst of this competition, we are committed to protecting our fundamental approach to Umeshu production and to providing customers with products they can trust and they can enjoy. We don't want people to buy Umeshu; we want them to buy CHOYA. As Umeshu pioneers, we want that to happen beyond Japan, too, throughout the rest of the world. Going forward, we will be concentrating on ensuring that customers all over the world can enjoy a life overflowing with CHOYA innovation.
