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."

    Caroline, London

  • "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!"

    Andrew, Norfolk

  • "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."

    Jim, Northumberland

  • "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."

    Kevin, Devon
