  • 150 years in the baking... Hear how our family business rose from a tiny Bolton shopfront to the nation’s toaster - straight from our Chairman, Jonathan. 🧡 Pop the kettle on, toast a crumpet, and have a listen. ☕

    Most businesses are built to sell. The rare ones are built on legacy. Warburtons is one of them. Founded in 1876 and still family-owned five generations later, it’s grown into the UK’s largest bakery brand - employing over 5,000 people and supplying 18,000+ stores nationwide. That kind of scale is impressive. But sustaining it over generations? That’s a phenomenal demonstration of leadership. In my conversation with Jonathan Warburton on Extraordinary Life Stories, what stood out wasn’t just the success - it was the responsibility that comes with it. A long-term mindset. Consistency over noise. Protecting the brand, the people, and the standards that built it. Because when you’re building for legacy, you think differently. Jonathan is now leading the business as the 5th generation, with the 6th already coming through - a rare example of continuity in modern British business. Warburtons sells an average of 17 million crumpets every week. Quick one … who’s had Warburtons bread or crumpets this morning? 💡 You might recognise Jonathan from the iconic TV adverts featuring Hollywood names like Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman and Sylvester Stallone. But of course… the main star is Mr Warburton 🤩 I’m really looking forward to sharing our conversation on ‘Extraordinary Life Stories’ 🎬 Full episode goes live: 🕘 Saturday 9am Sky 502 / Bloomberg TV 🎧 Spotify #Podcast Brought to you in partnership with IFS

    Orange as far as the eye can see! 🧡 As part of our 150th birthday takeover of Baker Street, we teamed up with Global and Transport for London to transform the station’s northbound Jubilee line platform into a Warbies orange oasis! The platform has been covered in our 150th birthday celebration posters bringing a loaf (we had to get a pun in!) of joy to the platform and making us totally unmissable. Don’t worry if you missed it though – take a look in this short video! 🎥 Execution and delivery supported by MindshareJoyful & TriumphantBurson, and McCANN Manchester. 👏

    Morgan Freeman asking Londoners to “mind the bap”? Now that’s one way to start a morning commute. 🥯✨ To celebrate 150 years of Warburtons baking brilliance, we’ve teamed up with Transport for London to bring a little Northern charm to the capital this week. The northbound Jubilee line platform at Baker Street has been transformed into Bakers Street - think giant crumpet signage, and our distinctive orange as far as the eye can see! 🧡 But the butter on the crumpet is that for two days only, Hollywood legend, Morgan Freeman will move away from narrating blockbuster hits on the silver screen to narrating Londoners’ commutes, as he voices a fresh batch of playful, bakery-themed twists on the familiar Tube announcements. Because after 150 years, we’re still spreading smiles the best way we know how: with crumpets, humour, and a few good buns…sorry puns!  🫶

  • We had an amazing visit at a Magic Breakfast UK partner school for an #AspirationDay last week! ✨ Our staff had a lot of fun meeting the students at Youth Challenge Secondary in Bolton. They enjoyed sharing their experience and thoughts about their job roles and employment as a whole. Our volunteers also had a wonderful time getting to know the students and learning more about their dreams and aspirations. We hope the students felt that they gained valuable insights and enjoyed connecting with our colleagues. Thank you Magic Breakfast UK for making this possible. ⭐ #NourishingFutures  #MagicBreakfast   #FuelForLearning  #AspirationDays #ItsHowWeRoll
