Finally our new or 3rd jiffy truck has arrived its now at the signage company www.poppysigns.co.uk being given its “clothing” yippee. We shall be, launching this truck into Preston and so are now looking to recruit new outside catering customers as well as corporate catering customers for this vehicle to service, besides the outside catering we shall be looking to provide a lunch time delivery service with the full range of sandwiches and savouries all freshly made of course.

This is a big step for us as we begin to expand outside our normal geographic area of Chorley, Preston is going to be challenge with lots of companies providing the outside catering services and sandwich  delivery.

We have lots of outside catering work on this weekend and the diary is looking good in the next few weeks with us catering for a Tennis Tournament, a conference in Blackpool as well as now recieving the specifictaions required for catering at Go Ape which we will be working on next week. All good stuff have a lovely bank holiday weekend….

First triathlon of the season, the Eton Super sprints a fantastic location Dorney Lake quite a strong head wind and the water could have been warmer! Overall very happy although my legs are extremely sore two days later, really need to do better stretching more consistantly. The overall result was better than last year, although my performance on the run was pretty poor. Well just need to get back into it and improve my performance, it was pretty good to have that Chorley cake at the end, real butter spread on it!!  Time now to prepare for the Liverpool Sprint Tri in June Chorley Cakes at the ready…..

Still working on the move into Preston with the lunch and sandwich delivery service will be getting a list of companies we would like to speak to at BNI for the next month or two.  Corporate Catering in Preston is building strongly, and is growing rapidly in Chorley. We also entered the Bakery Industry Awards this week, our Chorley Cakes have gone off to the Great Taste Awards today and our entries for the British Pie Championships will be sent to Melton Mowbray on Wednesday…all in all just need to keep Tri  ing……..

Good news all round I think at the moment, obviously the governement has now been installed and regardless of political persausion having a govt right now is better than not so at least we can all get on with business and doing our bit to help the economy by expanding and bringing new jobs into the company and hence the local economy.

The BIG issue with our new truck has now been resloved and we expect delivery on Monday yippee so we can now start to build the presence of the business in Preston with lunchtime deliveries and Corporate Catering in Preston as well.

Eton Tri now 2 days away so am getting nervous now, in the meantime I was so impressed by the students who did the presentation on Chorley Cakes that I have sent them a copy of Pies and Prejudice each, given that four of them are from other European countries i thought it might help them understand where they are in the Great British regional cultural differences.
