ceda Platinum Partner Hobart Promising Fireworks for First in Series of New Inspirational Webinars
Hobart Equipment Division is urging its UK sales partners to sign up for its new series of inspirational webinars, with the very first going live on Thursday 5th November at 11am.
The 45-minute webinars have been specially designed to enrich and not impinge on the working day of the manufacturers’ dealer and consultant partners. Each will be underpinned by a framework that first examines a specific industry challenge or issue, introducing a number of innovations that can meet these head-on, before culminating in an interactive Q&A session.
November’s webinar, hosted by Hobart Product Managers, John Stewart, and Chris Mansell takes the issue of diminishing kitchen space as its first topic. Those looking to sign up can do so today at: https://bit.ly/3eg7niy
Tim Bender, Sales Director, Hobart Equipment Division comments:
“If the pandemic has taught us anything it’s the importance of innovative digital platforms like Zoom and Teams to both our personal and working lives. This new digital series takes our informal face to face training sessions – previously one of our most valuable customer resources – and repackages them into an enhanced, bite-sized product, perfect for reaching and inspiring our busy sales partners. Yet another step forward in Hobart’s digital revolution.”
Hobart’s sales partners are urged to sign up today. Simply visit www.hobartuk.com for more information.
ceda Platinum Partner Liebherr shortlisted for two RAC Cooling Industry Awards
ceda Platinum Partner Liebherr shortlisted for two RAC Cooling Industry Awards
Liebherr Appliances has made it to the shortlist of the RAC Cooling Industry Awards 2020 with two innovative entries including ultra-low energy plug in supermarket chest freezers for Refrigeration Product of the Year and full length glass door multideck freezers in the Innovation of the Year category.
The freezers in both ranges are plug in with integral systems and they utilise environmentally friendly hydrocarbon refrigerants. They are suitable for food retailers, convenience stores and supermarkets. The chest freezers are also suitable for the wholesale and cash & carry markets.
Talking about being shortlisted for the awards Stephen Ongley, national sales manager for Liebherr GB’s Business & Industry Appliance Division, said:
“We are really proud to have been shortlisted for the respected RAC Awards virtual ceremony that will be held on December 9th for two really exciting freezer ranges.
“There is the new concept Multideck FGD plug in freezer that we feel has caught the eye of the RAC Awards judges for its obvious build quality, full length glass doors for great impact with consumers seeing food products face-to-face, excellent energy saving features and above all its ability to be located in areas where space is limited and siting refrigeration cooling plant is often ruled out.
“Add to this the highly energy efficient range of SGT freezers for food retailers and wholesalers going forward as a potential product of the year in the RAC Awards and we believe that Liebherr is breaking new ground in these markets. Both ranges feature full connectivity providing data on temperature and energy performance along with key component performance data. LED lighting and seamless white interiors enhance sales, speed up cleaning and promote excellent hygiene standards. Indeed, the Freezer Top SFT 1223 and SGTs 1072 Chest Freezer in the range have both already won accolades from the prestigious 2019 Reddot design and innovation awards.”
Several of the UK’s leading multiple retailers and convenience store groups are already looking at and trialling the latest plug in refrigeration options that Liebherr has to offer.

ceda Platinum Partner Mechline helps operators build customer confidence during the pandemic
ceda Platinum Partner Mechline helps operators build customer confidence during the on-going Pandemic.
Ceda Platinum Partner Mechline Developments, manufacturer of HyGenikx air and surface sterilisers, has launched a Customer Confidence Campaign to support operators in getting customers safely back into venues. All HyGenikx units now come supplied with a HyGenikx sticker, to show customers when a venue is going that extra mile to look after their safety and well-being.
Commenting on the new initiative, Kristian Roberts, Marketing Manager at Mechline said:
“The HyGenikx range has already proved very popular with restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels across the country who have supplemented their own rigorous manual cleaning regimes with the 24/7 protection HyGenikx offers against bacteria and viruses, in the air and on surfaces.
“As HyGenikx is wall-mounted, compact and works quietly, most customers don’t even notice it’s there, and therefore aren’t aware of the safety benefits it brings. The HyGenikx sticker can be displayed front of house–in windows, on doors, on walls or menus—to provide added reassurance to prospective diners that the venue is taking an important extra step to make its operation as safe as
possible. With the sticker displayed we hope it will help give customers the confidence to eat inside venues again, safe in the knowledge that advanced hygiene technology is installed there. The sticker also acts as a portal to more information, as it features a QR code that will take diners to a landing page explaining the benefits of HyGenikx.”
In the current climate the campaign acts as an important sales aid for distributors, providing them with a more complete package to offer operators. The customer confidence campaign works alongside HyGenikx to highlight to, and reassure, the public that a food service establishment takes their safety and well-being seriously. The current survival of any operator is not only challenged with the physical fight against the spread of infection but also the psychological fight to instil confidence in diners to eat out.
It’s clear from the comments of wide variety of restaurateurs and operators that the protection HyGenikx offers is making a positive difference to their business:
“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend HyGenikx to other foodservice or hospitality businesses as it is the ideal complement to manual cleaning. It helps to protect customers and staff, extends the shelf life of fresh produce and provides additional reassurance so our industry can move forward with confidence and return to some kind of normal.”
Cyrus Todiwala OBE DL, Owner Café Spice Namaste
“Reopening after lockdown, we knew we had to adapt to a new normal, add in extra safety measures, and align with the changed mindset of customers. HyGenikx sounded like a great safeguarding solution to complement our increased cleaning procedures. As it can work all day it is constantly killing airborne and surface viruses and bacteria.”
Sean Donkin, Managing Director at The Inn Collection Group
The technology within HyGenikx is proven to inactivate viruses, including coronaviruses, by using a unique combination of UVC, PCO and trace ozone to destroy these microorganisms. Studies have shown that this technology is effective against SARS-CoV, a virus from the same family as the current, COVID-19, coronavirus strain (SARS-CoV-2). It works by damaging the genetic material of viruses so that they can no longer function or reproduce, rendering them harmless. The HyGenikx technology has also been shown to significantly reduce the presence of MS-2 coliphage (a surrogate for Norovirus) both in the air and on surfaces. MS-2 is a non-enveloped virus that is more difficult to eradicate than lipid-enveloped coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2.
Together with regular handwashing, frequent cleaning, and social distancing, HyGenikx can help prevent the spread of harmful coronaviruses and reduce the risk of infection. HyGenikx models start from as little as £289, require no training to use and no costly installation as they simply plug into a standard socket and consume very little energy, requiring only 9-13 watts.
The HyGenikx range has models to suit every application, from food preparation areas, cold rooms, and front of house, to washrooms, refuse areas and beyond. For further information on HyGenikx please go to www.mechline.com/hgx
