-
Basic Food Hygiene Certificates
If you are just starting out, then you need to know about food hygiene - how to prepare and handle food safely. Your local Environmental Health department can advise on where to enrol for a training course to obtain your certificate. -
Register Your Business.
Catering companies should be registered with their local Environmental Health department at least 28 days before starting up. An appointment will be made for an Officer to come and see where food is to be stored and prepared. The premises can be a building, trailer, van or wherever you intend working from. The EHO is there to help and advise so this is the time to discuss your operating procedures and ask or answer any queries. -
Insuring your Business
If you become a member of NCASS, (Nationwide Caterers Association - formerly MOCA) you will also receive all necessary information on environmental health to comply with most new and upcoming government rules and regulations. -
Finance
A finance leasing agreement allows your business to get the equipment it needs while the costs are spread over a number of regular payments. We provide you with a quote and on approval of whichever finance company you choose, Embers will invoice the finance company for the goods.
If you would like further information on the benefits and features of finance leasing, you can contact Oxford Funding direct on 01242 22666 or email glin@thefundingco.co.uk.
What we provide at Embers is: Flexibility, with industrial design and strength (TM).
