CHR Equipment Ltd was established in 1993 as a family business
with a great deal of experience in the food service industry.
While the atmosphere and attitude of a committed family business
remain at the centre of CHR’s success, today the company’s
experienced team includes catering consultants, creative kitchen
designers, dedicated project managers and skilled engineers and
installers.
Some of our clients simply require a single piece of equipment
delivered to the door. Others need an entire kitchen designed,
supplied, project managed, installed and commissioned. Our aim
is to provide the very best value for money solution, based on
each client’s unique requirements.
This professional and personal approach had led to a high level
of customer retention and recommendation.

that Paul loves about CHR’s work, “In
1998 we installed a new cooking suite at a further
