Ernest Adams (bakery)

Ernest Adams is a New Zealand bakery brand, part of the Goodman Fielder group of companies.

History

The company was established in Christchurch by Ernest Alfred Adams, an English-born baker, in the early 1920s. His father, Herbert Adams, was the founder of a large Australian-based food company. The company was originally called Adams Bruce Limited, with Adams in partnership with Christchurch baker Hugh Bruce. The company grew rapidly, with bakeries in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin by the time of Bruce's retirement in 1929. Following Bruce's retirement, the company was split, with Adams Bruce operating in the North Island and a new company, Ernest Adams Ltd., taking over the South Island arm of the business. Despite his official retirement, Bruce continued to work for the company as manager of the Christchurch factory until his death in 1939.[1]
