Tom Molnar is the Co-Founder and CEO of GAIL’s Bakery, where he has transformed the UK’s artisanal food landscape by proving that high-quality, craft-based production can thrive at scale. Since partnering with baker Gail Mejia, Tom has expanded the business into a nationwide network of over 170 bakeries, all while maintaining a radical commitment to food integrity.
Driven by the philosophy of “doing bread better,” Tom champions a model that treats sustainability as a core business function rather than an afterthought. Under his leadership, GAIL’s actively invests in regenerative farming partnerships, circular waste-reduction strategies, and short, transparent supply chains. By leveraging the bakery’s scale to support small-scale producers—from grain millers to specialty coffee roasters—Tom is a vocal advocate for collaborative action in the food system. He believes that by connecting growers, makers, and local communities, businesses can move beyond traditional consumption to create a more resilient, equitable, and nature-positive future for the industry.
