Kudos Blends proudly celebrates its 25th anniversary – a remarkable milestone that marks a quarter-century of science, innovation, and progress in the world of industrial baking. From our humble beginnings in rural Shropshire to becoming a global leader in technically driven leavening agents, the journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Our Founder and CEO Dinnie Jordan recently explained more about the company’s history in this interview.
The Main Event
To mark this incredible milestone, we hosted an exclusive black-tie celebration at Brockencote Hall. Attendees included our valued shareholders, customers, global distributors, suppliers, and members of the Kudos Blends team.
The evening was filled with joy and reflection – a champagne reception, three-course dinner, cocktails, live music, and even a casino night made for an unforgettable event.
“The experience was truly unforgettable…a testament to the values of excellence, innovation and care that Kudos Blends represents” – Mark Thompson, WBT Services.
“Was great to see everyone and enjoy your success – especially enjoyable to see a business thriving in such a turbulent economy we live and work in” – Kevin Jones, KMB
Behind the Scenes: Facility Tours
As part of the celebrations, guests were invited to tour our expanded site. The response was overwhelmingly positive.
From our upgraded milling plant to the bespoke gluten-free building and custom-designed test bakery, visitors were blown away by how far Kudos Blends has come. These facilities not only demonstrate our technical capabilities but also highlight how we are equipping ourselves for the future of bakery science.
Simon Radley, Baker Davies, describes “An incredible new facility showing the importance of never stopping to grow and innovate by continued investment”.
“The site visit demonstrated first-hand the continued desire to grow and invest in the business…these are genuinely world-class facilities”, expressed Will Raymond, ICL Group.
Global Partnerships, Local Values
Over the last 25 years, we have cultivated strong, strategic partnerships with leading bakery brands and suppliers across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australasia. Our global reach allows us to bring world-class leavening systems to markets with unique needs, while still maintaining the personal, responsive service that defines our company.
Arm & Hammer, US Distributor said, “We’re proud to collaborate with Kudos Blends…in the U.S. Baking Market – helping manufacturers reduce sodium while delivering great-tasting, nutrient-enriched baked goods. Here’s to many more years of success and ground-breaking solutions!”
As we celebrate this milestone, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to all who’ve been part of our journey, from our loyal customers and trusted partners to our dedicated team members past and present.
Here’s to the next 25 years of science-led baking innovation!
