If you follow us on social media or are one of our customers you may already know that we have been innovating our plate storage solutions. This dreadful pandemic has left the majority of our customers without work and having to shut up shop until further notice which has left us with a lot of time on our hands. So we thought let's use this time wisely and think about what we can do to improve our current plate storage products. As a small family run business, we put a lot of effort into making everything perfect for our customers and have spent years and years rushing around to get orders out as soon as possible. Most of the time not even touching the ground and now we are firmly stuck on it! It's insane, this unreal time has turned things upside down in many ways. But, we must find silver linings in everything so this was our chance to stop and think about

Cutlery is one of the most washed items in a kitchen. It often piles up high and dirty and is in high demand from customers even to just quickly stir a drink or spread some butter. As a result, kitchens and catering businesses must keep on top of cleaning their spoons, forks, and knives efficiently.
Here are a few tips on how to get the best results.
Soak Cutlery in Soapy Water
When the dirty cutlery comes back into the kitchen, immediately let it soak in a tray with soapy water. This will get the main debris off the steel and keep the dirt soft enough to wash off easily. While you pre-wash most other items by hand, washing cutlery can quickly get fidgety and inconvenient. So keeping them soaked to make them easier to handle is all the more critical.

Everyday Help on Wheels: The Benefits of Transport Dollies
If you have a catering business, you’re likely to have to haul heavy loads from A to B regularly. Luckily, there's a solution that we're going to reveal to you that should solve the majority of these logistics issues - the transport dolly with brakes. Let's explore some of the benefits…
Easy to Manoeuvre If you've ever worked in an environment that requires moving stuff around in enclosed spaces, you'll know how hard that is. Things can break, jobs might be delayed, and it can create a queue of other tasks that need doing. However, with the help of a transport dolly, things might go smoother. You can stack papers, books, materials, breakable objects, and similar items in one convenient place and move them around. The dolly's wheels make moving things around faster and more secure than a person carrying those same items. One example of this is our Conveyor Rack Euro Dol

When you have a business that requires you to run any sort of event, whether it’s a competition, an annual general meeting, a presentation of your products, a dance class, a history lecture, or anything else at all, you almost always have a lot of “stuff” that you need to transport to the venue in which it is being held. Even if it is held on your own premises, if it is not a one-off, there will be things that you need to store and re-use. If you hold the event four times a year or only once a year you need to be able to access all the bits and pieces that you need quickly and easily.
Of course, the more events you hold the more “stuff” you have. These could be notepads and pens for attendees, lanyards for your staff, booklets, small samples of a product, and much, much, more.
