OUR BAKESHOP
Bennie's Bakeshop has a long and proud history dating back to the late 1800's when Bennie's grandfather, Alfred, starting a small, self-run bakeshop from his home in Aro Valley. The bakeshop quickly became a regular for locals, and the popularity grew around the city. Now, Bennie has continued to uphold the pride and dedication to the business by continuing the family tradition of providing only the very best pasteries and cakes across all of Wellington!
STAFF
Bennie
Bennie has lived in Wellington his entire life and followed in his father's and grandfather's footsteps by taking over the family business at the young age of 26. Jim has always had a natural talent for baking and design which is shown in every handcrafted pastery and cake he has offered to his customers.
Susan
Susan joined Bennie's business shortly after they got married 36 years ago. Susan has great attention to detail and makes a perfect fit as the business' administration clerk, keeping the business running in the background while letting the others stick to doing what they do best, making the best baked goods!
Rebecca
Rebecca joined Bennie's Bakeshop three years ago after her graduation from baking school. Rebecca says she loves the personal connection she gets to all the customers she meets and loves the variety of the work. One day, Rebecca hopes to start her own bakeshop too.
Duncan
Duncan started at Bennie's Bakeshop eight years ago as an after school job, doing cleaning and tidying around the store. Duncan slowly started learning baking and designing tips from Bennie, and starting putting his learning into practice. Duncan started from the bottom and has rightfully worked his way up, and is now a highly valued member of the Bennie's Bakeshop team.
