Family

The Gelder Family

Alan:-

Alan Gelder is the founder and senior partner of Gelders Bakery. His forward thinking and careful financial planning have made us able to weather the storms of recession and also the effects of BSE in the industry. The reins of Gelders Bakery are still firmly in his control and he likes to take a hands on approach to business. He has always been a typical Northern bloke but recently has exhibited a softer side to his nature after taking up gardening.
Lillian:-

Until recently Lillian Gelder worked alongside her husband, Alan, in the business. But because of ill health has had to retire. From the early days Lillian was at the forefront of the business, making as well as delivering the pies. But Lillian's first love has always been her faith and given the slightest opportunity will preach till the cows come home!

Tony:-

Tony Gelder is Alan and Lillian's son. He is the sales manager and also a partner in Gelders Bakery. Tony is the one to see for ordering, prices, promotions, marketing etc. One of his specialities is a design service for our customers to promote our products in their shops, tailored to their needs. But his first love (after the pies!) is Table Tennis. Always a keen player since youth he has finally got the time to blossom into playing for England in the veterans league. Something we are all proud of.

Jane :-

Jane Gelder was Alan's mother and up until 1991 (aged 84) still helped in the bakery selling pies from the back door. Jane passed away peacefully on the 20th March 2004 aged 96 years.She was much loved and will be sadly missed.
