About Us
OUR HISTORY
Shamrock Pies is a privately owned family business that was founded by an Irish confectioner in 1973. Through his attention to detail he perfected the “Shamrock Pie” we still know and love today.
From a humble beginning in the Vincent Park Centre located in East London, the business relocated to Fort Jackson and soon thereafter it was purchased by Tony and Grazia Linden in June 2000 with a growth vision. Shamrock Pies then moved to bigger premises in Braelyn in 2001 from where the Head Office operates and supports its Factory Shops and retail clients in Eastern Cape and Western Cape.
Many factors contribute towards building and keeping the good reputation of our pies. We still use the same original recipes and pie moulds as well as tested cooking and baking methods. Dedicated, well trained staff use only the best quality ingredients available. We will always strive to produce a premium product while remembering where we came from and looking forward to the future of this “local legend”, the Shamrock Pie.
OUR TEAM
Shamrock Pies has a loyal and conscientious staff compliment, one of the company’s biggest assets. We are proud to offer over 80 people employment with some of the staff members being part of the team for 30 years.
Shamrock Pies staff take great pride in their work and are proud to be associated with the excellent reputation of the “Shamrock Pie”.
The owners make job security a key strategic central objective and strongly believe that the way you run your business infiltrates down to your end product therefore they strive to satisfy the needs of staff. We commit ourselves to create a positive work environment and put a great deal of time and effort to provide our employees with effective training and a good working environment.
