Abstract
Contract caterer Talkington Bates has scooped the Workplace Sandwich Provider of the Year award at this year’s ‘Sammies’ in recognition of its innovative sandwich offering.
Among the innovations it has introduced are 100% recyclable, biodegradable and compostable 'stacker' sandwich boxes, suitable for all types of sandwiches, including bagels, baguettes and toasties. The cost-effective nature of this new initiative means it generates packaging savings of more than 30% compared to the old wedge style boxes, plus increased sandwich sales across most sites. Talkington Bates offers nearly 15 different types of breads and over 25 fillings to choose from, Talkington Bates works with its clients and diners to provide extensive, new and exciting sandwich menus which are freshly made, daily on-site. Group Managing Directors Paul Bates and Janice Talkington collected the award at the ceremony held in the Lancaster London. Bates said: "This award goes a long way to recognising our intuitive approach to the sandwich sector and I think the launch of our recyclable stacker sandwich boxes clinched the award – it has certainly been a real hit with our customers as you'd expect cost savings and increased sales to be."
