Pie Panelists will receive a year’s supply of pies and puds after every single meeting
To mark the launch of their new ‘Best Ever Range’, Lancashire bakers Holland’s Pies has embarked on a search for five pie and pud tasters to test and review its 'proper tasty' range.
The successful applicants, who will be hardcore pie enthusiasts, will be invited to join an elite ‘Pie Panel’ who will meet every six months at the Holland’s Pies factory in Baxenden in Lancashire.
Pie Panelists will receive a year’s supply of pies and puds after every single meeting
The experts will get to taste and review products alongside Holland’s newly appointed Chief PIEologist, Helen Henry. As payment, Pie Panelists will receive a year’s supply of pies and puds after every single meeting.
Successful applicants will be asked to sample lots of pies and puds and offer feedback on current core ranges, as well as have exclusive access to brand new product ranges, to try them before anyone else.
Entrants don’t require any previous pie experience, but must be keen, enthusiastic pie devotees with a particular love of shortcrust pastry. They will also be required to attend and travel to the Holland’s factory in Baxenden to attend the Pie Panel alongside Holland’s staff, suppliers and other key stakeholders, every six months.
The existing team at Holland’s Pies’ are keen to update the range with even more proper tasty fillings and improved recipes – and the Pie Panel will ensure customer feedback continues to be a key part of its product development.
Helen Henry, Chief PIEologist at Holland’s Pies, commented: “We’re looking for five people who are passionate about pies and who eat, sleep and dream about pies. They will taste and feedback on our Best Ever range and will be rewarded with mountains of pies and puds to take home.”
“By introducing this Pie Panel, we hope to continue to ‘PIEfect’ our range and maintain and grow our loyal fan base within the North West. Whilst we know our products are already much loved, we wouldn’t be doing our job to the best that we possibly can if we didn’t provide our fans an opportunity to ensure our pies & puds are the best they can be.”
To win to the chance of becoming a Pie Panelist, entrants must simply email piepanel@hollandspies.co.uk telling Holland’s Pies, in no more than 250 words, in the most creative way possible why they’re the most deserving of a coveted place on the Pie Panel.
