Adande Aircell wins again

Adande’s national project manager Jan Quilliam receives the latest award from Chris Brazier, group event director, Commercial Kitchen

UK: Adande’s Aircell Grab & Go refrigeration cabinet has won another award, this time as a gold winner at the 2018 Commercial Kitchen Innovation Challenge Awards.

The award was made just weeks after the company’s Aircell Grab & Go cabinet achieved first place in the Energy Efficiency category at the 2018 Footprint Awards 2018 and won the Packaging & Equipment category at the British Sandwich Association’s Sammies Awards. It follows the success of the product at the 2018 Food & Hotel Asia SCI Equipment Awards in Singapore and the 2017 FCSI UK & Ireland Sustainable Catering Equipment Awards.

The 2018 Commercial Kitchen Innovation Challenge Awards attracted entries from a wide range of suppliers to the hospitality industry. Entries were assessed by a high profile panel, which included senior specialists drawn from the hospitality sector.

The Adande Aircell open-fronted Grab & Go cabinet incorporates patented short air curtain technology, with optimum air flow patterns, which are said to dramatically reduce chilled air spillage from the unit.
