We are pleased to shine a spotlight on the community focused initiatives put in place by local bakeries as part of our Awards of Excellence Program.  

These local bakeries continue to rise to the occasion by providing support to their communities through a variety of local initiatives.  From donating meals and groceries to those in need, to sponsoring local sports teams and engaging in grassroots sustainability efforts, all of the winners listed below have kneaded together the ingredients of compassion, commitment, and community spirit to make a real difference in the lives of those around them. 

Felicity Needham, VP Sales, Away From Home for CCEP Australia is proud to recognise and commend the achievements of our customers.   

 We’re thrilled to showcase local bakeries who have truly embodied community spirit. These local businesses are ensuring their local communities are satisfied and nourished with delicious bites, but they are also doing so much more. From supporting local schools and community groups, to facilitating food donations for families experiencing hardship and financial stress, the efforts of these small businesses are truly commendable.”
