Why this matters

This recognition reflects far more than just numbers – it highlights the transformation happening behind the scenes. Over the past 12 months, we’ve rolled out a refreshed brand identity, modernised our packaging, expanded supermarket and convenience listings, and invested significantly in our bakery site and digital infrastructure, including the launch of our new website.

These steps are helping us show up for customers in fresh, confident ways while staying true to the values that have guided us since 1936.

A message from Aisling McGhee, Commercial Director

“Being named among the top Scottish take-home brands is a huge achievement for us. It reflects decades of family baking, hard work and a commitment to quality. As we step into our 90th year, this gives us an incredible platform — for product innovation, national growth and for bringing joy to even more kitchens across Scotland.”

What’s next

With this momentum behind us, we’re looking ahead to our 90th anniversary with big plans – from new products and national campaigns to fresh ways of celebrating the generations of families who enjoy our baking.

McGhee’s has been part of Scotland’s daily life for nearly a century, and we’re just getting started.
