TESTIMONIALS
Our workshop team
Chris Brennan
Chris Brennan is Co-Founder of Pump Street along with his daughter Joanna. He came to sourdough baking and chocolate making later in life, after a long career at IBM. His insatiable curiosity for real bread, fermentation and bean to bar chocolate has been the fuel for our development as bakers and chocolate makers.
Joanna Brennan
Joanna Brennan is Co-Founder (along with her Father, Chris) and Director of Pump Street. Joanna leads our team of more than thirty-five passionate professionals in maintaining our excellence in baking, chocolate making, hospitality and customer service.
David Wright

Chizuru becker
Chizuru Becker is a graduate of our Pump Street Trainee scheme and one of few team members with experience in every department of our business. Now a seasoned member of our Pastry Department, Chizuru also helps co-ordinate and run the Workshop space so you're likely to see her (hopefully with a tray of freshly baked croissants).
