CHR were tasked with creating a temporary kitchen facility to cater for up to 800 diners, while work took place on a new £12 million conference and events centre.
The company turned its back on the traditional solution of hiring a fully fitted portacabin and saved the cricket club more than £100,000 in the process.
CHR Ltd purchased two portacabins’ which were knocked through to create a galley kitchen making use of lots of kitchen equipment from the original stand.
The kitchen created by CHR Ltd was not only a significantly cheaper option, but Lancashire Country Cricket Club will also be able to continue to use it or sell it on once the new facility is up and running.
Talking about CHR’s award, Peter Kay, CEDA Director, said:
“This is a great example of thinking “outside the box”, literally!
The independent judging panel, who visited each shortlisted client and nominated project, were impressed by the strong working relationship between CHR Ltd and Lancashire Country Cricket Club.
“It was a huge project yet CHR’s attention to detail was evident as they project managed all aspects of the project to the highest food hygiene regulations.”
