On 8 August, the hosts of the Baking Industry Awards named Simply Doughnuts as a finalist in the ‘Team of the Year’ category.

As a past winner of this award (2021) we are looking forward to attending the finals on 23 October at the Royal Lancaster in London.

Our shortlisting follows a judges’ visit to our factory last month, where we were able to show the panel members our processes, and explain relevant issues such as our quality assurance systems, industry accreditations and staff development programme.

The Baking Industry Awards are in their 38th year and they exist to celebrate excellence, innovation, and dedication across the industry.

The standard of entries has reportedly been particularly high this year. Addressing the newly announced finalists, the organisers wrote:

“Congratulations on being shortlisted as a finalist in the 2025 Baking Industry Awards. Out of a highly competitive field of entries, you have risen to the top through our rigorous judging process and now you’re officially one of the best in British baking!

“This is no small feat, as our expert judges reviewed hundreds of entries in one of the most competitive years yet. Your hard work, creativity, and passion really stood out!”
