Jestic to be UK sales partner for Duke equipment

Jestic Foodservice Solutions is to become the UK sales partner for US foodservice equipment firm Duke’s product range.

Duke will be added to Jestic’s directory of 23 brands, which includes Henny Penny, Mibrasa and Sveba Dhalen.

Steve Morris, commercial director at Jestic, said the food equipment distributor would stock Duke’s hot-holding cabinet ReadyFlex.

He said: "Food holding is the critical link between the preparing and cooking of food and serving it to guests. We pride ourselves on having the best solutions to improve our customers' foodservice operations, and no one offers a more advanced and comprehensive holding portfolio than Duke.

“We're looking forward to introducing it throughout the UK, to help our customers meet their needs.”

Jakub Rada, commercial manager at Duke Manufacturing, said the company was “very pleased” to partner with Jestic.

“Jestic have a consistent record of organic growth in the UK and we are confident they will represent our innovative equipment solutions to our UK customers,” he added.

Based in St Louis, Missouri, Duke is a global organisation that has been manufacturing foodservice equipment since 1925. It counts KFC, Subway and Burger King among its core customers.
