Have you recently opened a demonstration kitchen or upgraded your existing one? If so, what facilities do you now have available?
Our 2,500 sq ft development kitchen opened in 2006 and is regularly upgraded to include the latest equipment and technologies available to the foodservice market. Our facilities include a fully operational test kitchen, various equipment available for evaluation and a large area for meetings and/or training.
What kind of equipment details can you impart to dealers by using a demonstration facility that would be difficult to explain otherwise?
The most important part of having a demonstration facility is the ability to see the quality of the product on offer and also the results that it can produce! Some equipment, particularly in the
accelerated cooking or combination steamer market, rely on the quality of the end cooking result. These items can also sometimes seem expensive until the item is fully demonstrated and the
full benefits seen.

How do your demonstration facilities help dealers themselves and help them sell to end users?
Our development kitchen provides facilities that dealers would not necessarily have access to at their own premises – and as a wholesaler we are able to provide a wide range of equipment and brands that a manufacturer cannot always do. We are also able to provide the crucial link between dealers, end users and food companies. We regularly arrange trials and testing via our Food Solutions team, giving the end user the confidence that they have the right product for their needs, particularly important for larger group customers and those who require complete product consistency.
Do you organise regular training events at your demonstration kitchen – if so, what form do they take?
Our development kitchen has hosted many industry training events, both scheduled events held by manufacturers and bespoke events organised at the request of our customers.
We have also played host to many industry meetings and seminars, as well as offering a perfect opportunity for chefs to test and trial equipment.
