Expo Hire supplied an NHS Trust with hired catering equipment, avoiding capital delays and keeping a 24/7 hospital kitchen running.
An NHS Trust running a hospital kitchen 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The Trust's existing kitchen machinery was ageing and losing efficiency. The team needed replacement equipment without waiting through a capital purchase cycle. The kitchen still had to meet food safety standards and keep service running.
Expo Hire worked with the Trust to assess the requirement and set up a direct hire agreement. We supplied new convection ovens and industrial dishwashers. We also delivered refrigeration units and hot holding trolleys.
Our team scheduled delivery and installation with the Trust's operational teams so the new equipment could fit the existing kitchen layout.
The Trust kept food service running without interruption. Staff worked with reliable equipment and the Trust spread the cost over time instead of waiting for capital approval. The upgrade cut downtime and kept the kitchen compliant.
