Starting Point
What started out as a trip to China and the opportunity to experience the people and country was the first step in an adventure in Asia that has continued for the past 26 years. The experience in the Chinese cities, the facilities at both and the make do provisions in the two bakeries were enhanced by the interaction with the local people, young and old.
Baking School
Singapore March 1 , 1993 was the start of a two-year contract to establish Singapore first professional baking school , it was a big challenge and one that I took with an open mind to succeed. The task of building the new facility by way of organising layout, equipment, flooring, tools , equipment to fit an empty warehouse was interesting to say the least.
CerealTech Industrial and Artisan Training
