Scaling Up
Without Lowering the Bar
Three Mills Bakery has built a devoted following by doing things properly. Under the guidance of Founder & CEO Jarrod Deaton, their products are defined by long fermentation, careful handling and an uncompromising commitment to quality. As the business has grown, maintaining that standard across higher volumes has meant working with ingredients they can trust completely.
consistency
When there’s no room for variation
How have Mauri’s flour and ingredient solutions helped your bakery maintain artisan quality and consistency?
One of the challenges we faced as we grew rapidly was product consistency. Initially, we were juggling multiple suppliers of flour; telling a story of origin, craft and quality. Those subtle inconsistencies that are normally celebrated when you’re small, started to turn into real problems as we grew. Our customers expected consistency, especially in the wholesale space. The ingredients we were sourcing from Mauri were always more consistent than other suppliers, which made it clear that we should work more closely with them going forward to maintain quality and consistency at scale.

Knowledge that unlocks ideas
How has Mauri’s technical and customer support team helped your business?
We’re always innovating behind the scenes. Some of the things we’re testing are completely new for our team, and although it’s fun to experiment, it’s much better to unlock deep technical knowledge from people who have already solved the challenges we’re trying to explore. Mauri’s technical team has been that ear for us. People with deep industry and technical knowledge who are happy to drop anything to help solve day-to-day challenges or act as sounding boards for completely new ideas. They’ve been an integral part of our success.
Proving scale and craft can co-exist
As a craft-focused bakery, Three Mills initially aligned with smaller suppliers whose stories reflected their own. However, as the business evolved, so did their understanding of what real partnership looks like.

Bigger can still mean better
What would you say to another bakery considering switching to Mauri’s ingredients?
On the surface, Mauri didn’t suit us. As a craft bakery, we were always looking to align with the smaller guys with a nice story. The problem was, often the service and the product were really inconsistent. It wasn’t until we met their senior management team that we really understood Mauri. We realised we were judging them incorrectly as the big guys. But they’re different. Not only do they attract deeply passionate and experienced people into their team, they also genuinely care about the industry and the customers they look after.
Every conversation we have with them inevitably leads back to improving the industry, sharing knowledge and growing together. It never feels transactional. And that level of support, whether it’s technical knowledge, consistency, or just the feeling of someone having your back, is exactly what the bakery industry needs more of right now.
