A COMPANY making a range of savoury pies and pasties has proved to be the upper crust.

Andrew Jones (Pies) Ltd was named Business of the Month is the competition run by Huddersfield law firm Eaton Smith and the Aspley-based Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce.

The business was formed in 1994 by Andrew Jones and has grown steadily. In 2005, a family-owned limited company was formed and the business moved to its present premises in Old Leeds Road in Huddersfield.

In addition to supplying baked products for his two shops in Marsh and Brighouse, Andrew supplies more than 100 other butchers, farm shops, sandwich shops and retail outlets in and around Huddersfield.

The company has recently introduced unbaked frozen products which can be baked off in a retailer’s own ovens, enabling Andrew Jones (Pies) Ltd to broaden its geographical area.

The company has won a clutch of awards, most recently that of Best Food Product from the Yorkshire and Humber Great Taste Awards in 2007.
