Story

Bushman’s Bakery is a wholesale bakery and newly opened retail shop located at 45 Evans Avenue in North Mackay.

It is owned and operated by Peter Grant, Marlene McGuire and David McCann all of whom had many, many years of experience in the bakery industry with Goodman Fielder. All were made redundant when the bakery at The Fourways in West Mackay was closed. They purchased what was then the Baker’s Pantry with a staff of one plus the owners in July 2003.

Bushman’s product range includes sliced bread and bread rolls, pies and pastries as well as a range of cakes and slices for the smoko trade. Our customers are independently owned shops and take away businesses in Mackay and the surrounding district. Our consumers expect good quality, long lasting and great tasting products. The success of the business is dependent on delivering products which are better than anyone else’s products.

Employee numbers have grown from one to thirty-two over four years. We currently have three Apprentice Baker/Pastry Cooks from fourth year down to a school based apprentice. Positions cover baking bread rolls, baking pastry and cakes, delivery, slicing and packing, cleaning and administration.
