Gail's

 

Background
• Gail’s is an artisan bakery and patisserie with 3 stores in central London; Hampstead, Notting Hill and St John’s Wood. It was set up by founders Ran Avidan and Tom Molnar who left their city jobs after their entrepreneurial drive was sparked by the craving and difficulty in finding a great loaf of bread. They teamed up with Gail Stephens, founder of Baker and Spice and The Bread Factory and opened the first Gail’s in 2005.
