Member of the Month

Jempson's is a family-owned independent business with a rich history dating back to 1935. Founded in the village of Peasmarsh in East Sussex, the business began as a traditional bakery serving its local community. Over the decades, it has grown into a respected regional supermarket and food retail business with locations across Sussex and Kent.

Despite this growth, baking remains firmly at the heart of the business. Through The Rye Bakery, Jempson's continues the heritage on which it was founded, producing artisan breads, cakes and wholesale bakery products for customers throughout the region.

Supplying shops, cafés and hospitality venues, The Rye Bakery combines generations of baking knowledge with modern production methods, ensuring quality and consistency while maintaining the craftsmanship that has defined the business for almost a century.

Jempson's has always placed great importance on supporting local food, local suppliers and the communities it serves. This commitment has helped the business build strong relationships across Sussex and Kent while maintaining its reputation as an independent family business with deep local roots.

Today, Jempson's stands as an example of how a bakery can successfully evolve while remaining true to its origins. By combining heritage, quality and community values, the business continues to play an important role in the region's food and baking industry.

We are delighted to recognise Jempson's as our May Member of the Month.
