CALLING ALL BAKERY STUDENTS AND TRAINEES
The ABST is the Alliance for Bakery Students and Trainees (previously the National Federation of Bakery Students and IBB Alliance).
It supports bakery skills students/trainees and promote education both in the colleges and across industry.
They are a none profit organisation run by volunteers from the bakery industry and are supported by the Worshipful Company of Bakers, the British Society of Baking, the National Association of Master Bakers, the British Confectioners Association and Improve – the sector skills council for bakery education.
They have a yearly Conference (this year being held at Alton Towers Conference Centre on Friday the 11th – Sunday 13th June) which is supported by most of the bakery ingredients manufacturers, and large bakery companies in the country.
Students, Trainees and Professional Bakers can enter one or more of the competitions (which are free) they don’t even need to be there as they can send their entries to us for Judging.
The series of competitions at this conference include bread, pastry, cake, sugar-work, chocolate work etc and these are supported with prizes by members such as Improve, British Sugar, Hovis, Puratos, Bakels, Unifine Dohler, Warburtons, CSM, IREKS, Wrights, FWP Mathews, etc.
This years prizes are even more impressive (including Bakery Training trips to France, Belgium and Germany) .
