Three decades of kitchen to restaurant and beyond.
WhitCo Catering & Bakery Equipment was formed in 1995, but the key principles of quality, service and offering value for money still apply. We specialised in supplying equipment for the catering and bakery industries and our founder Jeff Whitaker’s easy style and his ethos of “always leaving something on the table for the other guy” meant that the business grew and prospered.
Our mantra ‘From Kitchen to Restaurant and Beyond” was developed in 2016. Since then, the elements that represent ‘Beyond’ have grown as our business has expanded its scope and vision. Our work speaks for itself, and word-of-mouth and referrals have provided constant work for a process that focusses strongly on the value of teamwork.
Dedicated to excellence, we are always in pursuit of improving the quality of our services.
