IN THE SPOTLIGHT: CORPORATE CHRISTMAS


TASTY OPTIONS THAT CATER FOR ALL


Frozen food distributor Central Foods has unveiled two new savoury items for the foodservice sector to cater for customers with dietary requirements. The Menuserve brie and red onion tart is


suitable for gluten-free and vegetarian diners, while the Menuserve beetroot and thyme tarte tatin is perfect for vegan and vegetarian customers - making them both ideal for the growing demand for plant- based menu options. Both items are premium products that suit


‘THE MENUSERVE


BEETROOT AND THYME TARTE


TATIN IS PERFECT FOR VEGAN DINERS’


the increasing demand in the foodservice sector for good quality, pre-prepared options that are suitable for those with dietary requirements, but which will also prove popular more generally – helping to avoid menu proliferation. Managing director of Central Foods Gordon Lauder said: “We are


really pleased to launch two new tasty savoury products for foodservice and extend our growing selection of pre-prepared, frozen items that are suitable for free-from diners. “Along with the one in a hundred who are coeliac and need to avoid


gluten in their diet for health reasons, there are many others who actively choose to avoid foods containing gluten. The Menuserve brie and red onion tart will make it easier for foodservice operators to satisfy demand from their customers for delicious gluten-free, easy-to-serve menu items, while the Menuserve beetroot and thyme tarte tatin is perfect for vegan diners. “Some 36% of meat-eaters buy vegetarian and vegan products, and 23%


of Brits eat gluten-free despite having no intolerance, according to Ubamarket, so it really does make commercial sense to add gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan products to menus, and both of these will make perfect main course options on Christmas menus, many of which operators are starting to plan now.” Northamptonshire-based Central Foods is one of the UK’s leading frozen


food distributors and supplies hundreds of different lines into foodservice, ranging from vegetarian and free-from items, meat products, bakery items and canapés through to buffet products, desserts and puddings. It currently sells to more than 240 independent wholesalers, as well as larger


GO PAPERLESS THIS CHRISTMAS


Postworks introduces a completely paperless solution for office post, just in time for all your Christmas delivery needs. • New product enables companies to become fully paperless • Postworks Receive™ turns scanned letters into smart digital documents Online post specialist Postworks


has introduced a new service alongside their digital outbound post solution which revolutionises the online mailroom service. Postworks Receive™, scanning and digitising inbound mail, provides a fully paperless solution accessible to all businesses regardless of their size. “We are always looking for ways


that we can make post easier. Postworks Receive™, was requested by our customers and the


lockdown catapulted us into action to deliver a solution for them,” explained CEO James Booker. “While companies work out what


the ‘office’ looks like moving forward, we can take away the requirement for them to handle post, whatever they decide in the future.” In these challenging times,


someone has to visit the office to collect and distribute post. But with people working from home, and the desire for firms to spread festive cheer, there can be a huge delay getting the right correspondence to the right person causing businesses additional headaches. The Postworks Receive™ service opens and scans business post the same day it’s received, and makes it available on the PostworksHUB online. Letters


can be assigned to an individual or a group of users similar to a traditional office environment. “We have kept our vision at the


forefront, ‘to make post easy’, and Postworks Receive™ is no different. Every business that has had a demo of the solution has been very excited at how easy it is,” said commercial director, Marvee-Lisa Booker.
