Dean's Shortbread Goes Global | Aberdeen News

Dean’s bakery in Huntly just landed a massive £4.9 million investment from Bank of Scotland, fueling global expansion as their shortbread rockets in demand across Australia, China, Japan, the US, and Europe. Born in 1975 from Helen Dean’s kitchen to support a local pipe band, the business grew into a dedicated bakery by 1992—and now celebrates its 50th anniversary alongside the acquisition of Duncan’s of Deeside. Managing Director Bill Dean reflects on his mother’s legacy, proud to see her recipe enjoyed worldwide, while Bank of Scotland backs the brand’s international ambitions and homegrown roots. This funding will boost production, create jobs in Aberdeenshire, and cement Dean’s as a global Scottish food icon.
