The industry's leading hot-holding unit, Flexeserve Zone, which won the Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation 2022

2010s

The groundbreaking Flexeserve Zone, advances the world of food-to-go. The ‘first and still the best’, it’s the only hot-holding unit that accurately holds products at different temperatures. This has opened up game-changing opportunities for operators and earned us our second Queen’s Award for Innovation in 2022.

2000s

We’d been ahead of our time for a while, but operators now began to understand the difference between our technology and other methods of hot-holding. We started changing the way people eat hot food, around the world – working with supermarkets to improve quality and efficiency.

1990s

We discovered convection was the only way to keep food at optimum quality and temperature. Our hot air recirculation technology was designed for our first hot-holding unit, Turboserve, which directly responded to the industry’s developing needs. It would achieve our first Queen’s Award for Innovation in 2005.

Our Founder, Alan Nuttall, created his business in 1966 and everything we do benefits from our deep heritage and his impeccable vision. Alan pioneered self-service retail in the UK, and this has been part of our DNA ever since – driving many of our key innovations.
