Tatura Hot Bread’s new owner is excited to take over the thriving business.
After a three-year business venture with Tatura Hot Bread, George and Sophia Wells have traded the early mornings and long hours of bakery life for overseas travel, after selling the business in June to new owner and qualified baker Suman (Sue) Chahal.

Sue, who is originally from India but recently moved to Tatura from NSW with her husband and two children, said she was excited for the adventure with the business, living in a new community while joking about keeping George and Sophia’s daughters, Olivia and Chloe, who will both stay employed at the bakery.
“They are mine now,” Sue said, as she laughed while George grinned and continued to speak about Europe.
Olivia and Chloe are no strangers to the business and have both been heavily involved in different areas over the three years.
They have decided to stay on and continue to help Sue while keeping the bakery running as if no changes have been made.
George said that although it was the end of an era for him and his wife as they hang up their aprons, they had thoroughly enjoyed their time running the business.
“It’s been really good, and we have met some great people,” he said.
“We recently bought a house out of town so we will be staying local, will take a much-needed holiday and will see what happens after that.”
Sue is looking forward to meeting new people and settling into the country life while trying everything the bakery has on offer, keeping the baked goodies going and bringing some new recipes into the mix.
