A New Standard of Performance

Moreover as a leading Independent National Distributor in an ever-evolving world, Key Catering is committed to providing the one-stop shop solution setting it apart from competitors.

In fact Key Catering has always had just one single objective: To meet the Customer’s expectations at all times – this forms part of their promise enshrined in their mission statement. To achieve this objective it requires good leadership and team effort in a number of fundamental areas, including Sales, Distribution and Marketing. This is galvanised by the continual investment in technology and management.

Key Catering was established in the heart of the East End of London some 36 years ago but today operates from a purpose-built site in Docklands; on-going growth has allowed a steady expansion over the years with branches in Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Portsmouth. This provides the complete National network of distribution meaning that Key Catering are never far away.

Key’s Supply Chain Solutions span many market sectors covering Industrial Sites, Retail, Contract and Event Catering, Entertainments, Hotel and Leisure, Health and Education, Government and Local Authorities. With a simple idea in mind, Key endeavours to create an Image of Individuality for each of its clients with the help of an in-house Design & Development Team fully supported by a National Team of Sales Executives and Customer Service Advisors. Key have recently added to its portfolio of clientele by supplying overseas Customers by way of export.

Key is well-known for being both versatile and responsive, this being endorsed by the long-standing relationships with many Customers.

Always with one eye on the future, Key has recently added to the vast portfolio of products by introducing a full range of Permanent Tableware with complete marketing support. Key has worked very closely with all Supply Partners throughout the years to ensure that it has the quality design and competitive edge that the marketplace continually demands.

Despite harsh trading conditions throughout the UK, Key has always remained optimistic and strives for excellence in all areas. The recipe for success has and always will be the same, enthusiasm.“Nothing Great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” R.W. Emerson
