Alto-Shaam opens Milton Keynes training kitchen

Cooking equipment manufacturer Alto-Shaam has opened a training kitchen and demonstration facility in Milton Keynes.

The new facility will provide an account management, customer support and service base for UK customers, and will be used for hands-on equipment demonstrations to chef-led training sessions, showcasing Alto-Shaam’s portfolio of kitchen equipment solutions.

It will also be utilised to host regular live and interactive ‘A Taste of Alto-Shaam’ events for chefs and other hospitality operator staff.

The launch follows the recent appointment of James Olbort as Alto-Shaam’s new UK commercial leader, who will manage the facility alongside UK head of culinary, Billy Eatenton.

Olbert said: “This purpose-built space is designed to showcase the very best of what Alto-Shaam has to offer and will provide us with a hub for learning, collaboration and innovation.

“Whether you’re a consultant, dealer or chef, the new facility will provide foodservice professionals from across the UK with a space to explore our complete portfolio of leading kitchen equipment solutions, from our pioneering multi-cook and cook and hold ovens to our heated holding systems.

“It provides the perfect platform to demonstrate how our innovative technologies and solutions deliver real efficiencies and cost savings to help drive our customers forward.”
