Beckworth Emporium is an award-winning garden nursery, restaurant and food hall in Northamptonshire. Named Restaurant of the Year in 2012/2013, the business combines dining, food retail and garden shopping in one destination.
When Beckworth needed additional freezer storage, a rental solution provided the capacity they required quickly and proved valuable well beyond the initial temporary requirement.
The challenge
Beckworth needed a freezer that could be delivered, installed and put into operation at short notice. Hiring offered a practical way to meet the immediate requirement while giving the business time to assess its longer-term storage needs.
The solution
The first freezer unit was ordered, delivered, installed and working within 48 hours, providing a fast response to Beckworth’s storage requirement.
Over the following 12 months, the reliability, flexibility and value of the rental arrangement made a lasting impression. What began as a temporary solution became the business’s preferred approach to freezer storage.
Rather than purchasing a static freezer, Beckworth chose to upgrade to a 40ft rental unit for ongoing use.
The result
The initial hire gave Beckworth an opportunity to assess the equipment and service in day-to-day operation before committing to a longer-term solution.
After a year of use, the business chose to continue renting, with reliability, flexibility and value for money driving its decision.
David Brown, Co-Owner at Beckworth Emporium, explained:
“Our first unit was ordered, delivered, installed and working within 48 hours. It was a temporary solution but we decided to upgrade to a permanent 40’ unit after 12 months as reliability, flexibility and value for money were more appealing than buying a static freezer.”
He also praised the equipment and the service from the team:
“We were very happy with the equipment provided and with the service provided by Danny Thierens.”
