CHR Equipment, a UK leading provider of commercial catering equipment based in Preston won three prestigious awards at the CEDA Grand Prix Awards which were held at St George's Park, Burton-upon-Trent on Friday evening 27th April.

Now in its 31st year, the Grand Prix Awards are highly contested by CEDA members due to the recognition they have across the industry. CEDA promotes an atmosphere of enterprise, innovation and fair competition where Members operate ethically, encourage excellence and strive for improved standards in both their businesses and the wider Industry.

Moor Hall is situated in Aughton, West Lancashire in five acres of gardens and is a grade II* listed gentry house.  The site was acquired by Andy & Tracey Bell in 2015 and has undergone a multi-million pound renovation with a restaurant, luxury rooms and a converted barn achieving Michelin Star recognition within months of opening and firmly becoming a worldwide gastronomic destination for Lancashire.

Mark Birchall, Moor Hall commented on the project “The work carried out by CHR for me and the team at Moor Hall has been exceptional. CHR had been extremely patient and accommodating through the whole design process. They were impressively knowledgeable and completely understand the needs of the business, what needed to be done and how that needed to be delivered.”

The brief was to try and help the Real Junk Food team create a permanent kitchen for the project on limited resources. They launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise £20,000 to build a mobile modular kitchen which will be used in their first pay-as-you-feel café and restaurant in Manchester  CHR provided a number of different designs in various locations across Manchester, surveying and budgeting each premises to help find a suitable building.

CHR remain a family run business with Paul and Catherine Neville taking up the reins in 2015. The atmosphere and attitude of a committed family business remain at the centre of CHRs success. Today the company’s experienced team includes designers, catering consultants, dedicated project managers and skilled installers and engineers. This year CHR will be celebrating its 25 years in business. In 2012 the company launched EcoChef, the first fully British bespoke cooking suite, specifically designed to reduce energy and costs associated with running high end operations.  These suites have been installed at many Michelin Starred kitchens including Moor Hall.
