After looking at several Utensil Washers from different manufacturers and using different washing methods, we decided that the JEROS washing system with the traveling frame and high-temperature rinse cycle suited our needs. Once installed, it proved to be the correct choice, giving good results and being very operator-friendly.

Home of the award winning scones!
Haywood and Padgett is a family-owned bakery based in Yorkshire, with over 30 years of experience in the industry.
Founded in 1987, the bakery began with a market stall in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, where the founders sold handmade scones to local residents. While the stall offered a variety of baked goods, it was the scones that quickly gained popularity and helped build a loyal customer base. Recognising a market opportunity, the founders sent product samples to major supermarket chains.
The high-quality scones were well-received, leading to nationwide distribution across the UK.
Today, the business is led by the founders' children, who practically grew up in the bakery. Despite its growth and partnerships with large retailers like Tesco and Morrisons, the management team remains dedicated to maintaining the personal touch that has always been central to the company, both in customer relations and employee interactions.
With over three decades of expertise and a consistent track record of expansion, Haywood and Padgett is now the UK's largest scone manufacturer, producing over 1 million scones daily for both commercial and wholesale markets.
Improving hygiene standards further
Consistent and efficient cleaning is paramount!
At Haywood and Padgett, a focus on future-driven investment and planning has always been central to the business strategy. With a commitment to enhancing its environmental sustainability, the company recognised the need for a more eco-friendly cleaning solution to further improve its hygiene standards.
Prior to collaborating with JEROS, the cleaning process involved manually pressure-washing several production items. This method was not only time-consuming but also consumed significant amounts of water, chemicals, and energy. Haywood and Padgett sought a more sustainable cleaning approach that aligned with their broader environmental goals.
During a visit to the IBA Convention in Munich, Germany, the Haywood and Padgett team explored potential solutions for streamlining the cleaning of challenging production equipment, with the aim of reducing manual, labour-intensive tasks.
After a successful demonstration and trial, Haywood and Padgett determined that the JEROS Model 8160 was the perfect fit for their operations. This advanced solution improves hygiene, cuts down on cleaning time, reduces labour and chemical costs, and significantly conserves water.
"The test of our Model 8160 was a resounding success!"
Phil Dixon, Commercial Director at JEROS UK, recalls, "At the convention, we agreed that, upon returning to the UK, the Haywood and Padgett team would visit our head office in Doncaster. They brought a selection of their production items for a live demonstration and test wash."
He continues, "Haywood and Padgett provided containers that had been pre-swabbed by their hygiene team, allowing us to assess the level of dirt before the wash. The containers were then cleaned using the JEROS Utensil Washer, and swabs were taken after the cycle to measure the effectiveness of the wash. The results were clear—our washer exceeded expectations, passing the swab test on every item."
With a JEROS Utensil Washer, the result is always consistent.
When cleaning by hand, the quality of the result depends on the person and the effort they put into it. Typically, two hand washings will produce different outcomes. However, with the JEROS Utensil Washer, the result is always the same—reliable and effective.
It was clear to Haywood and Padgett that JEROS’s range of washers would deliver the results they required. The only decision was selecting the right model size for their needs.
JEROS offers a range of sizes to suit various requirements, and for Haywood and Padgett, it became apparent that the largest model in the range, the Model 8160, was the ideal choice. Given the volume and size of their production items, including large plastic containers, this model provided the capacity and efficiency needed.
How to use a JEROS Utensil Washer
When the JEROS Utensil Washer was installed at Haywood and Padgett, we also provided training for the entire hygiene team on how to operate the machine. The team quickly appreciated how efficient and user-friendly the dishwasher is.
The process is simple: employees load the dirty items into the machine and remove the cleaned items once the cycle is complete. Each wash cycle takes around six minutes, allowing staff to focus on other tasks while the machine handles the cleaning.
What can Haywood & Padgett clean in a utensil washer?
The possibilities are virtually endless when it comes to what can be cleaned in a utensil washer.
At Haywood & Padgett, the machine is used to clean all the components from their production line, including machine parts. The dishwasher easily handles and sanitises a wide range of other items, such as storage buckets, plastic containers, and even cleaning tools. The only limiting factor is size.
Thanks to its design and versatile washing system, the utensil washer allows for flexible cleaning of various items without the need for sorting. The hygiene team can simply load different-sized objects into the machine, making it an efficient and practical solution for a wide variety of cleaning tasks.
Haywood and Padgett achieve consistent and efficient hygiene results from day one!
The JEROS Utensil Washer - Model 8160 - is already revolutionising Haywood and Padgett's cleaning processes. Not only does it deliver the required cleaning results, but it also reduces labour costs, chemical usage, and water consumption. Most importantly, it significantly accelerates the cleaning process, enhancing overall efficiency.
