Claire Rowley and Warwick Wakefield head up the culinary team and bring with them a wealth of experience in foodservice.

Aided by the latest technology to identify hot food process efficiencies and product development at the Leicestershire-based centre, the in-house team is already assisting the likes of Café Rouge, Greggs, Dunkin’ Donuts, Crussh, Costa and Asda with their hot food-to-go offers.

Warwick said: “Over the course of a typical day, we explore ways to optimise quality for everything from an independent coffee shop’s breakfast bagels and pastries to a high street retailer’s entire grab and go hot food offering.

“The innovation and ideas we are seeing in hot food-to-go right now are unprecedented and fascinating, and whilst we both have many years’ experience in the kitchen, we continue to investigate and follow the latest developments and trends, enabling us to keep ahead of the game.  

“Ultimately, the most important thing is to help clients make their hot food-to-go offer the best it can possibly be, however, we also enjoy the daily challenges of a fast paced environment.”
