CALDER CATERING EQUIPMENT SERVICES LIMITED

Calder Catering Equipment Services works the commercial catering and food service trade from Wakefield, where its service department runs a team of mobile field engineers. The core is breakdown and preventative maintenance work: urgent callouts and PPM contracts for a customer base that ranges from multi-site blue chip operators down to single owner cafes and caterers. The firm also carries out warranty repairs on behalf of several equipment manufacturers.

The engineers cover gas catering equipment, refrigeration, warewashing, microwave ovens and combi cooking equipment, and the reviews show how the day-to-day goes. Andy Earl asked them to identify an old fryer so he could buy a part; within an hour they had the model number from the manufacturer, and within a day the part was delivered. Another customer named Matthew and the team as the reason they keep coming back.

Alongside the engineering, a large part of the business is now spare parts, sold through a counter and showroom in Wakefield and an eBay shop that supplies other local service providers. The firm counts, by its own account, over fifty years of combined experience. Calder Catering Equipment Services is a Wakefield-based commercial catering engineer covering West Yorkshire, specialising in breakdown repairs, planned maintenance and catering spares.
