West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin enjoyed a taste of success after visiting a small business based in Tenbury which is winning awards for its pies.

The Wyre Pie company welcomed the MP to its HQ at Tenbury Wells Business Park to talk about how it was planning to expand its business.

The company runs a successful butchers and manufacturing facility from the outskirts of Tenbury, as well as a busy retail outlet, and its game pie scooped first prize at last year’s Eat Game awards.

The company has grown rapidly over the last five years, and it won local accolades for its support for the community during the 2020 floods and the subsequent Covid lockdowns.

Harriett said:

“The Wyre Pie company is a perfect example of a small vibrant business making the most of our amazing local produce and employing local people.

“I’d hear great things about the company during lockdown and it was great to come and chat to the team and hear about their plans to expand.

“One of their biggest challenges is recruitment and I was eager to hear the detail on how they go about recruiting local staff.

“It’s a great company with great people and I am delighted to say that having bought one of their pies, is also a great product.”
