Holding a 60th anniversary was a memorable experience.But after the celebration itself there was the sober realisation that we must really be getting something right to stay in business for so long. Supplying Londons caterers is a competitive, always hectic business and there are plenty who have tried to compete in the past. Very few manage to stick the course.
From the very first potato peeler my Father sold in 1946 to the Charvet bespoke range recently installed in the kitchen of London's most celebrated chef, one thing has remained constant at Hansens and that is the quality of service.
One thing that has really pleased me is the noticeable increase in the number of clients visiting our extensive Chefs Shop showrooms. They come to see and try items from some of the thousands we have in stock but also to sit down with one of our designers in our state of the art Design Studio and (quite literally) design their new kitchen live on screen.
What we are really good at is helping caterers find the right kitchen layout or equipment product or combination of those things and then delivering what we promise.
What you get with Hansens is good advice, honestly delivered. With so much experience in this company, we should know what we are talking about.
We spend £millions every year on catering equipment and are among the major buyers in the UK. What our customers get with any product from Hansens is the benefit of our huge buying power and experience, together with good advice to fit the right kit to budget. As I look around the office I can count the time many of our staff have been with us…not in years, but decades. For me – it feels like forever sometimes – but I am a relative newcomer compared with some – I’ve only been here since 1976! We were able to celebrate 60 years because we deliver what we promise. Our customers trust us to help them when it’s needed and respect and use our advice to their advantage.
That’s why our customers keep coming back, time and again. Hansens does not advertise & the last time we produced published material like this was for our 50th anniversary.
“The best kitchens…the best equipment…ask Hansens.”
All of our new business comes by personal referral. We look forward to offering you the same high level of service for the next 60 years.
