All of us within the baking industry come with a passion borne from some distant memory. Whether it be that smell of fresh bread baking or in David’s case, the free kitchener bun presented to a hungry school boy after a lengthy tour through a local plant bakery. David has been involved in the baking industry for over 30 years. He completed his apprenticeship in 1983 with a Trade Certificate qualification in bread baking from the Regency Park School of Food and Catering in Adelaide, South Australia.
David spent many years travelling throughout Australia before settling in Christchurch in 1992 to raise our next generation of bakers. Over the years he has been extremely fortunate to work for, and with, some great people and iconic companies, namely Goodman Fielder, Ernest Adams, Arnott’s then through supermarket bakeries before eventually branching out for himself in a small suburban bakery. He is now involved with Coupland’s Bakeries as General Manager of Operations where he is able to combine all the training and experience he has gathered over a lengthy career from within the baking industry. David looks forward to being able to pass on some of this experience, and also to working with the BIANZ executive to help promote and advance this wonderful industry.
