Me and my factory
2Lewis_pies024
Based in Swansea, Lewis Pie & Pasty Co manufactures pies, pasties, slices and sausage rolls in in fresh, unbaked frozen and halal formats.
The company also owns Wendy’s Bakery – a bread and confectionery business – which makes up a small percentage of overall sales.
In 2009, the company completed a £2M expansion, increasing production space and adding a new 200 pallet freezer, new butchery and improved staff facilities.
However, when he joined, Lewis was aware that the company needed modernising. The keen surfer and father of three felt it had failed to keep up with the rapidly-changing manufacturing environment.
