Chargrill manufacturer cooking with gas after fresh funding support
A CHARGRILL manufacturer has secured £250,000 from private investors to enable it to more to the next phase of its growth development.
Synergy Grill is based in Cambridgeshire but its materials are cast in Dudley.
The successful initial round of funding is part of a larger fundraising process designed to kickstart the firm’s growth.
The company is looking to sell its new grill into the catering industry and it has already seen support from several well-known names in the food and hospitality sector.
It aims to make its advanced British technology the ‘grill of choice’ for modern catering establishments, starting in the UK and hopefully spreading globally.
The grill, which claims to cut gas consumption by half, has also been installed in more than 200 dining outlets in the UK and South Africa. Current clients include Galvin Hop, Assado, Hall & Woodhouse, McMullens & Sons, Firmdale Group, Peach Pubs, TLC Inns, Hook Norton Brewery and Lovely Pubs.
The grill also instantly atomises fat making it easier to clean. The firm is now an official affinity partner to Thames Water in its bid to stop cooking fat from congesting London’s drains.
Gary Evans, Managing Director of Synergy Grill said: “It’s a great bit of British kit. Chefs are happy as they have a grill that’s cool to cook over all day, fast, makes food seriously succulent and tasty and there’s no fat tray to clean daily. Proprietors are happy too as gas bills are halved, Synergy Grills don’t need to be on all day because they heat up in 20 minutes which reduces the cost per plate and they don’t have to responsibly dispose of fatty waste any more.”
The product is 100% British with the steel for the grill coming from Soham in Cambridgeshire, the cast iron from Dudley, the ceramics from Sheffield and finally, the grills are assembled in Cambridgeshire.
