About
The Early Bird story
Tim C, our pastry chef, has worked in the industry for the last ten years. His career began in Birmingham and from here he has travelled the world, including Australia and Malaysia. His background is in 5* hotels and he has run the pastry kitchen at some of the most prestigious hotels in the UK.
Tim C moved back to Birmingham in January 2017 and ran stalls selling his cakes and pastries at local food festivals over the summer, including the Kings Heath street festival, Birmingham Coffee Festival and Digbeth Dining Club. It was while he was running a stall at the coffee festival in 2017 that he met Tim G.
Tim G has always had a passion for food and hospitality, as well as a desire to support growing new businesses. They decided to join forces along with Tim’s brother, Joe, to complete the founding Early Bird team. Joe has a background in business management and, like his brother, has a strong passion for food, coffee and people.
Our long-term goal is to be a business with a social conscience: providing real opportunities for people to work, learn and develop within hospitality. We want a different work environment, one that builds skill and confidence, and a platform for new food ideas.
We also recognise demand for halal ingredients and vegetarian and vegan alternatives. That sits inside the vision: reduce waste, work with local providers, and still offer delicious alternatives to the cakes people know and love.
