Highland bakery bags national supermarket trial

Highland bakery Harry Gow has announced a new partnership with one of the UK’s largest supermarket chains.

Its products are now available in Morrisons’ Inverness and Alness branches as part of a trial run.

The move comes after the Culloden-headquartered bakery’s breads, rolls and sweet treats were the products most requested by Morrisons’ customers in the north of Scotland.

If sales remain strong, the bakes are set to become a permanent fixture on the supermarket chain’s shelves.

David Gow, director at Harry Gow, said: “We were delighted when Morrisons let us know that their customers had requested our products in store – and are excited to be partnering with the supermarket teams here in the Highlands to make that a reality.

“We’re proud of our baking heritage at Harry Gow, and are always looking for new ways to bring our products to the people that want them.”

Products on offer in Morrisons include the bakery’s signature dream rings, vanilla and raspberry slices, empire biscuits, fairy shortbread, plain and fruit scones, and Christmas mince pies. Harry Gow is also providing a selection of breads and rolls, including light rye bread, brown and white pan breads, morning rolls and softies.

Robert MacMillan, general manager at Morrisons, added: “As a local lad growing up in Inverness, and being a regular customer throughout the years with Harry Gow, I’m proud to be working in partnership with them by selling their quality products in my store.

“The quality of the products is some of the finest I have seen and tasted and this is testament to Harry Gow’s team as a collective.”

Harry Gow has 18 shops spread across Inverness, the Highlands and Moray – including one recently opened in conjunction with Asda.

The company's products are also found in 34 Co-op stores across the north of Scotland.
