Please find the below statement from Daren McGrath:
After more than three decades of leadership across hospitality and food manufacturing, and over 16 years as Director of Tiptree Patisserie, I've made the decision to step away from bakery life and embrace a new chapter.
It's been an extraordinary journey growing the business and navigating the challenges of transformation and Covid recovery. I'm proud of the teams I've worked with, the brands we've built, and the resilience we have shown - especially through the pandemic and beyond.
Looking ahead. I'm excited to support my son in growing his Land Rover business, combining my operational experience with his passion and drive. I'll also be deepening my involvement with Combat2Coffee, a cause close to my heart, where I'll serve as an ambassador to help expand its reach and impact.
I leave with immense gratitude for the opportunities I've had, the colleagues I've worked with alongside, and the values that have guided me throughout. The next chapter may be different - but it will be no less purposeful.

The whole team at Tiptree Patisserie are forever grateful to Daren for his leadership over the years and we wish him all the very best for his new endeavours.
