SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE PROVIDER OF THE YEAR 2017

This category was a tight vote, with just five votes separating the top two, but Lakes Catering Maintenance came out triumphant.

‘Lakes Catering Maintenance underwent a major re-brand this year, developing a corporate identity that is more inclusive of the company’s entire service proposition. A revamped website has also been created, detailing the extent of its offering and its successes serving local restaurants, schools and hotels in Cumbria and North Lancashire. The new look has been accompanied by an investment in enhanced design and installation capabilities, which are complementary to the flagship kitchen maintenance and repair work that the business has built its foundations on.’

Now in its third year, the event was attended by more than 220 industry executives from the UK catering equipment industry. The attendees, including representatives from over 40 distributor companies were there to find out the recipients of the 15 award categories, that were presented to honour excellence in both the supplier and distributor side of the industry.

Service and maintenance is absolutely critical in the world of catering equipment, and the Catering Insight Service & Maintenance Provider of the Year category, sponsored by the First Choice Group, will reward those that are blazing a trail when it comes to repairing, maintaining and servicing kitchens.

Lakes’ MD Leigh Howard picked up the trophy and commented on the win: “It’s amazing. I’m really proud  of our team and with what we have  achieved together,  I thought ‘no way are we going to win’, but here we are”
