Stand 209
Caterquip UK is the UK’s largest specialist provider of quality used and reconditioned catering equipment. The company also supplies brand new catering equipment, and a wide range of specialist maintenance services and complementary catering and cleaning products.
Established in 1996, Caterquip UK is the brainchild of entrepreneur Dominic Ricciardi, who experienced at first hand the difficulties in sourcing second-hand catering equipment, whilst he was working in commercial catering in the mid 1990’s.
There was clearly a gap in the market to be harnessed – Dominic founded Caterquip UK, and it has literally transformed his life. Today, he heads up a successful cash-rich niche company and will launch the Caterquip franchise opportunity at the Excel Franchise Show on 24 and 25 February.
Said Dominic: “With the recession biting hard – and the prohibitive cost of buying brand new equipment – we’re now busier than ever, with more and more customers opting for our viable, trusted, and much cheaper alternative. There’s more business out there than I can handle from head office so it makes sense to expand through Franchising and give others the opportunity to join an extremely successful organisation.”
Caterquip UK’s exciting new regional franchise initiative now offers business-minded entrepreneurs the opportunity to buy exclusive territories and follow this established recession-proof business model. Franchisees will benefit from a proven history of more than 13 years successful trading, and a wide range of multiple products and services that customers really need – plus the added benefit of Dominic Ricciardi on-hand as personal business mentor.
Total cost is £41,500 plus VAT. Finance is available for suitable applicants.
