Raised amid the aromas of his family’s bakery in Roubaix, Brian Boclet transformed his early curiosity into a career of international excellence. After studying business and gaining professional experience in London and Singapore, he decided to return to his roots and fully embrace the craft of baking. Through rigorous training at the INBP (National Institute of Bakery and Pastry) and years of refinement in Paris, Brian developed exceptional technical expertise. During six years running his own bakery in Southwest France, he achieved success in numerous prestigious baking and viennoiserie competitions.
His professional journey then took him to Switzerland, where he joined the prestigious École Hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL) as an instructor under the mentorship of MOF Thomas Marie. Guided by his mentor, Brian reached the final of the highly respected Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF) competition, further establishing his reputation as a relentless pursuer of excellence.
In July 2023, his dedication was rewarded with the profession’s most coveted passing of the torch: Thomas Marie entrusted him with the leadership of EHL’s renowned bakery. Today, as Head Baker (Chef Boulanger), Brian leads the team that helped shape his career, combining creativity, determination, and expertise to promote a vision of baking that skillfully blends artisan tradition with contemporary innovation.
