About Us
CBA members own and run over 6,000 shops throughout England Wales and Northern Ireland. With the corresponding bakery and shop staff, this means that our members employ over 125,000 people. But … Business size is not important to us, many members have only one shop and they are as equally important as those members who have 50 or more shops.

What our members say…
“Our membership allows us to use the CBA’s E-learning training courses, this enables us to provide engaging and well-developed courses for our team which helps cement knowledge as they learn.”
“The CBA have been extraordinarily helpful over the past 12 months. In all situations, I have acted on the advice of the CBA whether it has been Health and Safety or Employment Law and achieved a great result. I would have no hesitation in recommending the CBA particularly as it comes from a one-off annual payment. No problem too thorny!”
“I have been a member of the Craft Bakers Association for decades but my reasons were always to keep up with current legislation, offers, networking etc. and for its knowledge of the industry, however, after being guided through a difficult employment issue, for me now, knowing you have the CBA’s support behind you in any area of your business is priceless. Thank you.”
“Referred by the Craft Bakers Association to their energy broker regarding a worrying situation with my electricity contract, the team were very helpful and attentive and the issue was successfully resolved. 5 Stars! Without my membership, the outcome may have been very different.”
Get in touch with the CBA today and find out how we can save you money and time and benefit your business.
From saving money on third party services such as training and health and food safety to the HR and legal advice that’s all included. Joining the CBA makes great business sense.
