The completed Project
When tendering for the catering contract for EMC² barlett mitchell were made aware that they had to provide a facility that was encouraging and impressive.
The members of staff were moving from a building in Chertsey to one that was just off the M4, a location more difficult to get to.
The team from EMC², headed by Julia Eaton was looking to their successful caterer to come up with something special in food, attitude and design!
bartlett mitchell turned to Carford to help them. Wendy explains "We have worked with Cathy Wilcox at Carford since we started and found her informative, helpful and efficient; the team at Carford back her well and we are confident that the work will be done on time and in budget".

David James, Creative Director got involved to help bring the WOW factor in and also exemplify the barlett mitchell SMART concept of catering that brings together fresh food, staff and menu flexibility and good cost control. The tender was put together and bartlett mitchell were awarded the contract - now the work was underway. |

Wendy continues "Caford dealt with a tricky situation extremely well - although the intial costs were cut, working together we managed to keep the specific items that really had made the difference in both the look and the presentation of the finished product - enabling us to keep our promise to the client and customers!".
Working closely with the FMS services the Facilities Management team for EMC² the new dishwash system was installed (complete with cutlery polishing machine!), a new 'cook out front counter' delivered and the old counters clad to match.
A much admired coffee counter by Turnstone Colbrook had been 'bagged' at Hotelympia and matching units installed including fully fitted shop units to make a stunning self contained coffee bar and shop.
Back of house, new combination oven and the latest machines from Robotcoupe ensured that Peter Metheringham, the newly appointed head chef can produce delicious, fresh and attractive dishes that are amazing the newly moved staff members at EMC².
