Our Sites
Holland’s Pies
Holland's Pies can trace its history back to 1851 when John Whittaker started a confectionary shop in Haslingden and employed Richard Holland. In 1869, Richard was married to John's daughter Sarah and they took over the family business re-naming it Holland’s. In 1907 Baxenden became the home of Holland's Pies and the current bakery since 1936. With over 165 years’ worth of pie making knowledge, we have developed new products including sharing pies and a vegan range so that everyone can enjoy our pies! The site itself now has over 260 colleagues, runs more than five production lines, making nearly one million pies per week. As a well-known brand in the North West, Holland’s Pies runs a Friday Pieday on their Twitter page which allows the general public to win free pies – what’s not to love about free pie.
