Brakes Catering Equipment is urging caterers to stock up on their light and capital equipment products for Christmas – and avoid the VAT increase which is being introduced on 4th January 2011.
The catering equipment specialist is offering customer a host of VAT-busting promotions, many of which feature in the Christmas edition of its Highlights brochure.
Martin Hall, general manager for Brakes Catering Equipment says: “The VAT increase of 2.5 per cent is going to have a big impact on the foodservice industry. Outlets are currently deciding the best way to manage the increase in a tough economic environment, whilst still making a profit. One way to avoid the additional cost is to buy catering equipment, especially capital equipment, before the end of the year.”
Highlights, due to be published in November, will offer customers the chance to save thousands of pounds on a vast range of capital equipment. Major offers will include:
- The Vestfrost 13.2 cubic feet freezer for just £380, with a five years parts and labour warranty; and,
- The Lincat Filter flow water boiler for just £285.
With the busy Christmas period fast approaching, Brakes Catering Equipment also understands that caterers will require last minute ‘light’ equipment essentials. The business has introduced a range of special offers on key ‘light’ equipment products to suit any budget. They include:
- A set of six low Density chopping boards for £18 (just £3 each)
- A seven piece set of the world famous Sabatier knives for just £65
- Glassware, starting a just 23p per unit
- Up to 45 per cent off a range of Christmas essentials
Promotions will run up to 13th December for a guaranteed Christmas delivery of stocked items.
Martin adds: “The latest edition of Brakes Catering Equipment Highlights brochure has not only been designed for customers to purchase last minute back and front-of-house equipment for the festive season but also to buy investment pieces before the price increase. We hope this clear and easy-to-use promotional publication will help to support caterers during this busy period.”
