On the back of seeing significant growth throughout 2017, Oldham-based catering equipment supplier, Linda Lewis Kitchens, has recruited not one, but two new team members.

Throughout the years LLK has established itself in the industry as a supplier of high-quality catering equipment, seeing it grow from a one-man band to a team that is 14 strong, expanding over 50% in the last 18 months.

“After exceeding our target of £2 Million before the financial year is even over, we decided now was the perfect time to grow our workforce, to gear us up for the future and invest in our team," said Managing Director, Linda Lewis.

The two new members, Shannen Ashworth from Oldham and Kyle Freeman from High Crompton, have been recruited to support team LLK in areas that have seen significant growth in the past 18 months.

Ashworth, a former Department Manager for clothing brand H&M, joins the team as a Sales Development Executive in the Marketing Department, to assist with a range of demanding campaigns planned by ambitious Marketing Executive, Grace Carr.

Jenna Lewis, Commercial Director, said: “Having worked with Shannen at H&M, when her CV landed on my desk, I knew that I needed her on my team.

"With her passion, creativity and commitment, she has already added great value to our marketing team."

Since LLK’s Spares and Service Co-ordinator Ryan King’s appointment in June 2017, the company has seen a 14.87% growth in this area, prompting Freeman’s recruitment as a Customer Service and Support Executive.

Freeman, a former Sales Administrator for Thomas Cook, will assist with all aspects of customer service, from spares to guidance and advice for those who are just starting out.

With the right team members in the right places, with one goal in mind, LLK pledge to dominate the market with a continued commitment to helping all their customers produce the perfect, authentic Italian pizza.
