Shortbread House of Edinburgh, supplier of handmade shortbread in the UK, has purchased its fourth Tom Chandley Oven.

The family-run business has been a customer of Tom Chandley since opening in 1989. Over the years, the business has grown from a small customer base in Scotland to having customers throughout the UK and abroad.

Supplying their branded goods to independent traders such as hotels, delicatessens, farm shops and caterers, Shortbread House has used Tom Chandley Compacta ovens to produce the quality, baked shortbread, Dundee cake and sweet 'oaties' for which it is renowned.

As demand has risen, owners, the Laings have added new Tom Chandley ovens to the collection which now totals three 4-3-6 Compacta ovens and the latest one, a 5-3-6 Compacta oven.

Known for their consistent bake quality, Tom Chandley Compacta ovens have contributed to Shortbread House's reputation for fresh, traditional Scottish favourites.

The strategy behind the new, slightly larger model was to increase the capacity and output, whilst taking up minimal space.

Products are handmade to order and supplied directly to the customer, so a spacious, highly productive environment is crucial. "The new oven has been very good for us--we have been able to meet the growing demand for our products, maintaining both the quality of our goods and our working environment," said Anthony Laing, owner of Shortbread House.

Shortbread is produced in a variety of flavours, from original recipe to chocolate chip, chocolate orange, ginger and festive; while 'oaties' come in sweet original or chocolate chip. Shortbread House has consistently won top awards in the coveted Great Taste Awards, voted for by professionals from the Guild of Fine Food Retailers.
