Screen-Shot-2015-08-12-at-21.43.50UK: The Catering Equipment Suppliers Association (CESA) is to host a forum promoting commercial kitchen equipment to busy foodservice professionals.

CESA’s Heavy Equipment Forum is designed to give time-poor buyers, specifiers, operators, distributors, consultants and equipment sales executives the opportunity to get up to speed on the new technologies and techniques, in just one day.

The event, which is being held at Whittlebury Hall Hotel, Towcester, on October 1, features presentations from 15 manufacturers including refrigeration equipment companies Hubbard Systems, Williams, Electrolux, Gram and Manitowoc.

“The day offers a focussed, time-efficient way to keep up with the latest catering equipment technologies and techniques,” said Simon Frost, chair of CESA. “It delivers professional product training, covering areas such as service and technical support and environmental approaches as well as new developments and leading-edge technology.”

The day is followed by the Heavy Equipment Forum Awards presentation dinner.

Places at the Forum are free to bona fide foodservice professionals, provided they are involved in the specifying or supply of catering equipment. Also included free are places at the Awards Dinner, plus free overnight accommodation at Whittlebury Hall Hotel, including breakfast.
