Sprint Group Welcome New MD Simon Carpmael

Sprint Group Welcome New MD Simon Carpmael

Sprint Group has appointed accomplished business leader Simon Carpmael as their new Managing Director. 

Simon is an experienced and commercially motivated Director with an impressive track record when it comes to growing a resilient and focused business.

Simon joins Sprint with over 25 years sales, marketing and general management experience working for well-known brands such as Tetley Tea, Coca Cola, Perrier, McDougall’s and Bisto. Simon has worked in various sectors including grocery, retail and foodservice across both the UK and Europe.

Simon says: “I’m delighted to have joined the Sprint Group. Ross, Luke and the rest of the team have made me feel very welcome.

That said – it’s been an unusual first couple of weeks – what we are all experiencing is genuinely unprecedented. But this storm will blow over and our first priority will be to help our customers ‘get back up and running’ as soon as possible. At Sprint we pride ourselves on being there when they need us the most – it’s what we do – it’s in our DNA.”

Ross and Luke Ryan, owners of the award-winning commercial catering firm, are thrilled to welcome Simon to Sprint Group and look forward to introducing him to the rest of the team in person, when lockdown is over.

Simon continues: “And once the dust has settled we will emerge stronger – continuing to design and install high quality commercial kitchens – with a business fit for the next 25 years!”

Technical Guidance Document #023

A number of members have expressed concern at the growing use of computerised service management portals by customers and the fact that they can cause problems for service companies in getting paid if they are not used in exactly the correct manner.  Indeed, some even penalise you with fines if you do not use them correctly.

There are many different portals systems now in operation (one member has to work with 16 different ones) and all of them are different in some way or other.

Technical Guidance Document #022

This document has been produced as a result of some confusion as to the interpretation of one of the notes in UP/19 on Figure 3 Flowchart dealing with risk assessment protocol when dealing with ‘existing’ gas fired installations in commercial catering establishments.

The flow chart requires air quality tests to be carried out in certain circumstances, however, it is often very difficult to carry out an air quality test in a busy kitchen and therefore it should only be required to do this where absolutely necessary.
