The result has been the founding of her new home baking business Chloe’s Cakes. Always an avid baker, Ms Thompson decided that, though being one of several redundancies made at the Barnoldswick plant was deeply disappointing, this was the perfect opportunity to go professional. She said: “Basically it’s all been a bit of whirlwind. “I’ve always done baking and then I started doing bit and pieces for people here and there. “Then when the news came through that me and my team were going to be made redundant at Barnoldswick, I decided to get my professional qualification, start a business and from there we’ve just gone from strength to strength.”
