In a wonderful building that was the original Elizabeth Arden factory, The Perfume Factory asked Cathy and Michael to work with the caterers and interior designers to create a totally bespoke solution to the preparation and service of food in a large open space.
"Working with Cathy and Michael was superb, due to their understanding of our needs, the interpretation of the design and the excellent execution of the installation - they've been a joy to work with and I'd unhesitatingly recommend them".
~ Mark Welsby, Commercial Director, Innovate Space Ltd ~
Working with a catering operation that had been 'mothballed' for 7 years and with a minimal budget Cathy and Michael worked hard to create the WOW factor the client wanted. They did this by keeping the table tops, but putting new chrome bases on. These were teamed with colour washed wooden chairs. The good (but old fashioned) counters were clad with bright red laminate, giving them a fresh, vibrant and funky look.
"We couldn't believe the end result - we knew we didn't have a great budget but that didn't deter Cathy and she gave it her all. We are absoloutely delighted with the result and also with the aftercare service which has been spot on each time".
~ Sue Price, Business Service Manager ~
Working right alongside a hangar of £million planes meant that the catering install team had to work with total safety and efficiency in mind. A roof space of less than 400mm tested the ventilation design to the limit. The resulting kitchen and server has been a delight to Monarch and the caterers who have just been awarded a 5 star hygiene certificate!
"Cathy and her team did a splendid job, we're thrilled and the new canteen has been a wonderful success"
~ Dave Faulder, Properties and Facilities Co-ordinator ~
An ambitious programme this summer, saw Graham Heffer at Queen Anne's School radically change the use of the catering areas. Old store rooms now boast bright whiterock walls, sparkling altro floors under clean paint and new lighting; the veg prep store is now home to a wonderful new pastry area. All done to budget within a 6 week programme.
"Over the past 9 years I have worked on many projects with Cathy and Michael, Cathy's vision and knowledge, along with her infectious enthusiasm and dedication to get the job completed, means that I am delighted to recommend their services"
~ Graham Heffer, General Catering Manager, Queen Anne's School ~
