BAKERY Oddie’s is set to expand on to the internet.

The Nelson-based family-run firm, which has 15 stores across East Lancashire, has been baking bread, pies and cakes for more than 100 years but has never before gone online.

Now, however, it has commissioned a web design company to come up with a site to showcase its products.

Marketing director Lara Oddie said: “Probably the most special and important cake anyone ever buys is their wedding cake and this site, which is primarily a photographic site, has been designed to inspire couples by showing what can be achieved by a craft bakery like ourselves. We bake all our cakes in our bakery and then hand-finish them.”

The website is being designed by Branches Design Ltd of Clitheroe.

Senior director Phil Horrocks said: “It was a big decision for Oddie’s to take web space and we appreciate the company awarding the project to us.”
