Building on Jestic’s knowledge, experience and expertise across many key out of home channels including quick service and casual dining, MKN UK Distribution will offer customers improved delivery timings through investment in UK stock, minimised import complexities and enhanced service support.
Steve Morris, Jestic sales director, said: “The MKN brand leads the way in innovation, performance and customer understanding, and Jestic prides itself on its market understanding, premium brand portfolio and customer relationships.
“MKN UK Distribution is the perfect combination of multi-disciplinary excellence which will enhance the MKN brand position, whilst offering the very best equipment to customers across the UK.”
As part of the launch, MKN UK Distribution will open the MKN Training Centre within Jestic’s development kitchen at its Paddock Wood head office in Kent. It will showcase the full MKN portfolio whilst offering training, education and demonstration opportunities.
Wayne Bennett, vice president of sales and marketing for MKN in UK and Ireland, added: “This new chapter promises an enhanced presence for the MKN brand, improved service and support to all UK customers, and most of all the opportunity to share our exceptional MKN portfolio with a wider audience across the hospitality industry.
