Meet the Invicta team!

We’re excited to kick off a series of posts designed to introduce our team! Today, we’re sitting down with Trevor Talbot, our coatings expert, to answer these quick-fire questions. Here are his answers:

1) What’s been your proudest moment at Invicta so far?
"Introducing Invicta's own range of coatings. They are quite simply the best on the market! This is because they combine advanced materials with expert application techniques, ensuring superior non-stick performance, durability, and ease of cleaning. They are specifically designed to withstand the high demands of commercial baking and deliver consistent results batch after batch."

2) If you had to pick out only one Invicta product, which would it be and why?
"Difficult choice but I am going to plump for our aluminium baking trays. They are another industry leader - strong, durable and reliable!"

What is your favourite cake/biscuit?
"It’s a chocolate eclair."

What do you like to do in your spare time?
"Currently involved with house renovation and walking when time permits."

If you could invite somebody, living or dead, to a dinner party, who would they be? "Nelson Mandela would be a fantastic dinner party guest because of his incredible life experiences and ability to connect with people. He could share stories of resilience, forgiveness, and leadership while no doubt keeping the conversation warm and engaging. Plus, his legendary charm and sense of humour would make for an unforgettable evening."

Stay tuned for more interviews with the amazing team here at Invicta, and get an inside look at the people who help create the products you trust!

It’s Christmas Jumper Day! Our staff are showing off their most festive and quirky jumpers today to support Save the Children’s annual event.

As well as bringing a bit of festive cheer to the office, we’re also proud to be raising money for charity, helping those in need this season. It’s a small gesture with a big impact, and we’re thrilled to be part of it.

It’s also national Mince Pie Day so we thought we would celebrate both events. Well, you can’t leave one out can you?!

A Very Yorkshire Christmas Tip!

Here’s a festive tip from our Yorkshire roots: have you tried pairing Christmas cake with cheese? It may sound unusual, but trust us—it’s a match made in heaven!

The key is to choose a sharp cheese, like traditional Wensleydale. The tangy flavour perfectly cuts through the richness of the fruit cake, while dried fruit and nuts naturally complement the cheese.

The cake to cheese ratio is also very important. You need a surprising amount of cheese to balance the cake’s sweetness. A ratio of 50:50 is about right.

Why not give this Yorkshire tradition a try this festive season? Let us know if you’re team cake-and-cheese in the comments!

The recently published British Bakers Top Bakery Trends for 2025 report reveals that baked treats are increasingly being seen as a way to lift the mood, especially among Gen Z consumers who place a stronger emphasis on mental health and wellness.

Indeed, additional research from Tate and Lyle shows that nearly half (45%) of consumers aged 18-34 are buying bakery products every day as an integral part of their diet.

There’s no doubt that baked goods make for a comforting pick-me-up and they’re a much more affordable treat compared to dining out.

This is great news for bakers. Carry on baking happiness into every bite!

Stir-Up Sunday is almost here!

Stir-Up Sunday falls on the last Sunday before Advent (this year on November 24th) and marks the traditional day for baking Christmas puddings in British households. It's a day when families come together to stir the ingredients, making a wish for the year ahead as they do.

Our bakers are already flat out making puddings and cakes for the festivities ahead supported by Invicta’s high-quality bakeware products. It’s also worth checking out our speciality coatings for the best options for high fruit and sugar content creations.
