A Leeds bakery which started in a van is opening its own coffee shop which will 'help support women in the workplace'.
The Wren Bakery has confirmed it has opened a café in Mabgate Mills, Macaulay Street, in the LS9 area. The business was founded in 2020 by two Leeds women Emma Flint and Clare Sanderson. The ladies wanted to create a business that gives women who experience disadvantages, opportunities towards employment.
Clare found her love of baking and want to help women who have been subject to domestic violence. Accompanied by mental health social work Emma, the pair began touring around in their Wren Bakery-branded van, serving coffees, hot drinks, cakes, and snacks at events, while hiring and training women in the business.
