We can help your food business succeed!
The state of the economy is making things difficult for everyone, and setting up and running a food business can be hard enough. Great new products aren’t getting to market and many existing businesses are struggling.
That’s where we come in.
Whether you’re still at the ideas stage or an established food business, The CREA Food Centre can offer the work space, support and risk reduction you need to succeed and turn your dreams into reality. We have professional standard kitchens available to hire by the day or longer term, as well as a range of equipment for you to use. Come and work in our controlled, managed environment and make your food business a success!
New businesses: test the market whilst minimising risk
Hire a kitchen and equipment for a day from as little as £90. Bring your raw materials and walk out at the end of the day with £1000s of stock. There’s no bank-breaking investment required and no lease to tie you down, leaving you free to get on with the business of making and selling!
Caterers: avoid the squeeze of rising food prices
With food prices rising ever higher it’s the caterers and producers that are feeling the pinch. Instead of buying food service stock from wholesalers, why not make your own? Hire a kitchen, turn raw materials into cash and avoid the squeeze of the middleman’s margin!
Existing businesses: expand your production capacity
If you need extra production capacity at times like Christmas or Easter, or if you’ve got a big order to fill and not enough space, hire our kitchens for a few days. Our Food Centre is also great for testing new products away from your main kitchen, or if you’re thinking of buying specialist equipment but want to see how a product sells first before buying your own.
Long term hire also available!
We have kitchens available to hire on a long term basis if you’re looking for a permanent base. Tenancy is on an easy in, easy out license fee basis, eliminating the risk of a long-term lease. You’ll also get office space with a desk, copying facilities, a phone point and network access to run your business from.
More than just kitchens for hire!
Our Business Advisers can help with subjects ranging from book keeping and employment law through to marketing and ICT.
Our Business Skills Seminars and networking events give you the chance to improve your business skills in a range of areas.
Our Environment Team offer advice, consultancy and award schemes to help make your business more green.
Our Business Mentors offer budding entrepreneurs an experienced, guiding hand on the road to success. We can put you in touch with other organisations, helping you access the support you need to make your business a success.
