I was pleased to recently join the founders and current and past team members of Bob and Pete's to celebrate their 40th birthday! Mr Bob Yates and Mr Peter Dawson established their business in 1983 when they couldn't find Parisian level fresh croissants in Sydney so decided to make their own. Starting off delivering fresh butter croissants and pastries to a handful of Sydney corner stores on Sunday mornings the former band managers have built their product offering to now include over five hundred items. They have built a strong reputation based on quality, reliability and convenience and are now one of the leading suppliers to cafes, restaurants, caterers, and retailers across NSW. Bob and Pete's are also setting a great example of being environmentally conscious, using only recyclable cardboard boxes in deliveries since 1983. They are working towards their target of having no single use plastic or Styrofoam used in operations by 2025. They have also set a new standard for the Inner West with their fantastic sky writing message to celebrate their birthday. Congratulations Bob and Pete's and happy 40th birthday!
