Caprice Holdings Ltd - www.caprice-holdings.co.uk

Caprice Holdings operate some of the most iconic names in the Restaurant sector today with such names as Le Caprice, The Ivy, J Sheekey, Scotts, Daphne’s, Bam-Bou, Rivington Bar & Grill (Shoreditch, Greenwich and Dubai), The Club at The Ivy and J Sheekey Oyster Bar. Contract Catering Equipment has been working with Caprice Holdings since 2005 across the majority of these venues.

CCE's first involvement with the group was some welding at The Ivy. Since this small start CCE have completed a refurbishment project of The Ivy kitchen, Dispense bar and Stillroom. This involved CCE attending regular site meetings with Andy Kress, Operations Director for Caprice Holdings to ensure that the project came in on time and on budget. Our next major project was at the Rivington Bar & Grill in Shoreditch, where once again a full refurbishment of the kitchen was completed. In between these works CCE have carried out many smaller but equally important projects at most of the other Caprice Holdings Restaurants.

Using our excellent relationships with leading manufacturers and our own Stainless Steel fabrication factory we can specify the best equipment available for the task and still keep costs to be within budget! Using our knowledge gained over many years, we at CCE come up with practical solutions to satisfy the customer needs. We have introduced Precision refrigeration to many sites across the Caprice Holdings group. Part of the problem solving "brief" is to make sure that all the equipment can be easily cleaned and serviced in the future.

Andy Kress expects a high level of service and commitment from Contract Catering Equipment from the very start of each project, through to installation and after sales service. CCE are able to deliver this by appointing a project manager for each job giving Caprice Holdings a single and consistent point of contact throughout.

"In today's ever challenging business climate it’s great to have a solid and dependable base of suppliers who understand your needs and are able to respond quickly and thoroughly to your demands. One such company is Contract Catering Equipment who have a proven track record of delivering the full “turnkey” package, from concept, through multiple design amendments and on to install and post works support! They have completed major Kitchen; Bar & Stillroom works for Caprice Holdings Limited at The Ivy, Le Caprice, J Sheekey, Scott’s, Daphne’s, Bam-Bou and The Rivington. Additionally the quality of work from the stainless steel production arm of their business is so successful that we have managed to ensure that our main contractors who have recently delivered such projects as The Club at The Ivy and J Sheekey Oyster Bar- use Contract Catering Equipment for this task!"
