Over eighty years ago, John Gregg started out with one goal, to deliver (by pushbike) fresh eggs and yeast to the families of Newcastle. Greggs on legs, if you will…Ten years later, he chained up his bike and opened Greggs of Gosforth.
Making, baking and selling fresh bread and tasty treats from his very own shop on Gosforth High Street…there’s still a Greggs there today, although it’s looking a little bit different these days!
Over the years we’ve opened more and more shops across the nation, and have become somewhat of a Nation’s sweetheart in communities far and wide. Our menu has also changed with Britain’s taste. The long-standing Greggs fans among you may even remember the olden days before the hotly-debated Vegan Sausage Roll, or our freshly ground Fairtrade espresso.
With over 2,000 Greggs in the UK, the important stuff still matters to us. Like serving food that’s free of the nasty stuff (we don’t use artificial colours, flavours or MSG) and keeping our colleagues happy. We’ve even been named one of the happiest places to work in the UK, we’ll take that!
We're hard-working, but above all else we're family; and it doesn't matter who you are, where you are from or what your favourite bake is, when you come into our shops, you’re part of the family too.
Our ultimate vision: create game-changing opportunities for the world’s best companies.
The sole focus of our business is on moving goods through supply chains with critical efficiency and reliability. When we talk with customers, we want to know their most complex requirements and biggest challenges. The logistics processes that we engineer create faster, leaner, smarter supply chains tailored to those needs.
Our decades of experience in B2B and B2C verticals and our significant investments in innovation have put us in a strong position to capitalize on the tailwinds in our industry. These tailwinds include customer demand for advanced automation, the ongoing growth in ecommerce and the trend toward outsourcing supply chain services — all core competencies of GXO that set up our customers for success.
Logistics at full potential.
