Catering business cooks up expansion with move to bigger premises

A CATERING business has invested £40,000 in moving to premises three times the size of its existing site in Leeds.

Salt’s Catering launched in 2012 and has now moved to 4,200 sq ft unit at Wellington Road Industrial Estate. It delivers to a corporate base across Leeds and Bradford and also provides catering for weddings, conferences and private functions.

Bruce Salt, a director at Salt’s Catering, said: “One of the main catalysts for our growth has been the way we have diversified our offering. While corporate catering is still the lifeblood of the business, in the last couple of years, we have teamed up with venues across Yorkshire to provide catering for weddings and conferences, while also securing a large proportion of our work through private functions too.”
 
He added: “The new unit gives us the scope to grow by another 500%. We are looking to invest an additional £50,000 in new equipment and building improvements so we really feel we are in our strongest position yet to take on bigger orders, more ambitious events and larger catering contracts.”
