Emily Anderson
Cooplands
I oversee the development of products including cakes, biscuits, sweet and savoury pastries, bread, sandwiches and drinks at Cooplands Bakery. Cooplands have nearly 160 shops across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the North East. My first experience of the baking industry was via a school work experience placement in the R&D team at Warburtons bakery. This sparked a passion for food product development and I progressed to study Food Science at the University of Leeds. I joined Cooplands in 2023 and in 2025 I received the Rising Star Award at the Baking Industry Awards.
