40 YEARS' EXPERIENCE
Planning commercial kitchens
There are five key aspects to kitchen design: food preparation, cooking, storage, service and cleaning, that have to be taken into consideration.
Throughout the evolution of your project, you will liaise with your dedicated Project Manager who is there to ensure a smooth transition between consultation, planning, design, implementation, installation and final sign-off. We attend site meetings with you and our team to ensure that all aspects of the job are undertaken and completed accurately, on time, within budget and to the highest possible standard every time.
Equipment and systems that fit
We don’t compromise on quality at any stage of the journey, and that starts with the initial phases. Every project goes through a thorough consultation and planning process to ensure that we propose the best possible solution before presenting you with thorough designs.
