A local family run business with over twenty five years experience offering a total service to the Catering & Hospitality Industry including the supply, installation and maintenance of kitchen, laundry, bar, servery and refrigeration equipment.

As well as supplying catering & laundry equipment from most of the leading manufacturers we also provide bespoke fabrication, servery counters, light equipment, cold rooms, cladding and ventilation systems.

Grey Simmonds was formed in 1935, nearly 80 years ago, by Len White and Norman Simmonds. As there was already a company called “White’s Bar Fitters”, they called themselves “Grey Simmonds Bar Fitters”. The company soon got into the consumables, which it is known for today.

At Grey Simmonds, we pride ourselves on being a friendly family style business, where particular emphasis is placed on team excellence in all departments. Our field sales and telesales teams work closely together to ensure that customers – both old and new, are given a high level of service at all times – whatever it is they are after. Indeed, our prime objective is to keep the customer happy. So, if we do not currently have something suitable we will offer an experienced member of the team to source bespoke products specifically to find the perfect item.

However, we are sure you’ll be able to find what you are after in our extensive product range; from cutlery and tableware, to chemicals and capital equipment (and pretty much everything in between!). Additionally, as we have over 4000 stocked items, we are able to despatch orders quickly and efficiently to almost any destination.

On the other hand, if you are starting from scratch, our “complete scheme” initiative will be ideal. You will be able to liaise directly with dedicated members of our design team to help visualise and bring to life your bar or kitchen. Utilising CAD design, together, we will be able to achieve the most out of your project.

In everything we do, our ethos is fundamental and helps define what we do and how we do it – innovative, creative, dedicated, pro-active and conscientious. These are our guiding principles.
