Nuttall now The Alan Nuttall Partnership - of which Flexeserve is a brand

We are the industry leaders in hot-holding units and food-to-go solutions – exporting our products and services around the world.

In 1993, Founder Alan Nuttall – whose business started in 1966 – launched a Fresh Food Solutions operation. It was created to supply hot, cold and ambient food display equipment. This area of the business, which would become known as Flexeserve, now focuses on the manufacture of industry-leading hot-holding units that utilise Flexeserve’s unique and patented hot air recirculation technology.

Flexeserve is enabling major global retailers and independent outlets alike to improve their hot food programme, reduce food waste and increase profits.

A brand of The Alan Nuttall Partnership, we are a pioneering, employee-owned business with a 100-strong team, currently operating from our 40,000 sq ft headquarters in Hinckley, Leicestershire, UK. With 25 years of research and development within the heated displays and hot food merchandising market, we’re the only company capable of delivering true hot-holding for our customers – through our Flexeserve Solution.

Our customers, who include major global brands, benefit from the range of facilities that we have invested in and developed at our HQ – The Home of Hot-holding.

These facilities include our Foodservice Innovation Centre – featuring a state-of-the-art development kitchen, our customer support functions, highly efficient manufacturing space, our brand-new Partner area – The Hive, and much more.

With over 50 years of award-winning industry experience within the Alan Nuttall Partnership, our unique and patented heated units, invented and developed in the UK, are transforming the world of food-to-go.

Our products inspire businesses, including some of the biggest foodservice operators in the world – and when they invest in our products, they’re rewarded with excellent return on investment.

Welcome to The Home of Hot-holding

Our team’s unparalleled expertise in food preparation, hot-holding, menu development and packaging transform the world of food-to-go. With our true hot-holding, we improve food quality, extend shelf life and increase the variety of food that operators can serve.

Invented, developed and assembled in the UK, our unique and patented range of heated units are revolutionising all sectors of the hot food market.

The result of our work is food held at optimum serving conditions for unparalleled hold times without compromising quality. This holistic approach not only unlocks the opportunities of hot-holding packaged food, it also delivers excellent food security, limiting contact before consumption – all whilst reducing single-use plastics.

The game-changing benefits we deliver shake up the operations of businesses in food delivery, curbside pickup, supermarket rotisserie, catering, and quickserve – to name a few.
