MP visits firm
A LOCAL MP visited a flourishing business in Ashington last week.
Nick Herbert (Con, Arundel and South Downs) paid a visit to Kate's Cakes on Friday (February 22) to find out how the successful bakery business ran.
Mr Herbert was given a briefing about the large business and took the opportunity to meet staff on the factory floor.
"I was delighted to visit such a successful local business and interested to hear how it has grown," explained Mr Herbert.
"I hadn't appreciated that Kate's Cakes supply quite a few of the cakes sold by stores like M&S and Waitrose - I must admit to buying quite a few of them.
"They're also in our canteen in the House of Commons.
"I don't think I would be employed as a cake maker though - the one I tried to ice had to go for emergency repairs afterwards."
On Sunday February 17, a Kate's Cakes team led by Tim Breden raised money for The Chestnut Tree Children's Hospice by running the Brighton Half Marathon.
