About CHR Equipment
CHR Equipment Ltd was established in 1993 as a family business with a vast 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. Our Services
