We supplied and installed a Lincat Q90 island cooksuite in 2014 and are having ever greater problems in finding spare parts since Lincat decided to terminate their relationship with the Giga factory in Italy. Does anyone know where there is a reliable source for Q90 spares? Lincat, Middleby and First Choice have not been able to help us.

  4. I can help to some degree, many of the components in figs Q90 were changed by Lincat and don’t always correspond.  However with right info I can help out.  I have a good relationship with the Italian factory.Kind regards,Amjad AlikhanGeneral Catering Ltd

  5. E mail the factory in Italy for UK agent, google will translate?
    Try Commercial Catering Spares possibly .
  6. Contact Richard Fordham – 07968426302info@cuisine-europe.com
  7. Try GEV 01476 583922. I would also be asking Lincat what they propose to do about it.
  8. They could try cater parts, they are not always thought of as spares partners for catering equipment but they do have a tie in with the Italian manufactures and do a lot of Italian kit , both washware and catering or possibly LF spares again they are big on the Italian front and have a very good web site

Question

Could you ask if any other CEDA member has been asked to provide the following when doing a kitchen refurbishment (this is a one off not part of a full building refurbishment)

2.1.1.1.          Provide an electronic signing-in system that monitors and measures staff attendance levels as detailed in supplier’s tender submission.

2.1.1.2.          Provide a web based quality monitoring and reporting system in which client can access reports through a self-service portal as detailed in [insert name of successful supplier’s] tender submission.

I know Mace and other main contractors do this, but for a simple Kitchen house for a £100k kitchen it’s a bit ‘sledge hammer – nut’ – unless this IS what’s being asked and how do other CEDA members provide this?

  1. As far as I’m aware we’ve never been asked, if this is through a main contractor could they “piggy back” on their system ?

Kit Out The Kitchen: advisory panel invitation to ceda Members

ceda Members have been invited to attend an advisory panel for The Professional Kitchen Show...

Dear ceda Member,

I would like to invite you to attend a special advisory session to discuss the future development of The Professional Kitchen Show.

As you are no doubt aware, The Professional Kitchen Show is the new name for the catering equipment event at Hotelympia. In recent months we have been considering how best to develop this new brand and how to improve the quality of the buying audience attending this and our sister event in Birmingham, The Hospitality Show.

We are now able to share with you more details about our strategy and the significant investment we are looking to make to develop these events as well as the opportunities to introduce new products and services to complement them.

In order for us to make these important decisions we would like to invite you to attend an advisory session at ExCeL on the 16th of January 2018.

The session will be preceded by a buffet lunch from 12.30pm, followed by a presentation by myself and an open forum to discuss our plans and hear any suggestions about how these might be developed. We will aim to conclude the session at 2.30pm.

Please can you RSVP to Lyndsey Martin as soon as conveniently possible.

I look forward to seeing you on the 16th January.

All the best,

Ross Carter
Event Director
