Rayleigh and Wickford MP Mark Francois paid a recent visit to European Refrigeration Ltd based on the Annwood Lodge Business Park on the edge of Rayleigh, to congratulate them on their success in being awarded a Royal Warrant by Buckingham Palace.
The company, has been in existence for some 30 years but they undertook work a few years ago on providing refrigeration and support to the kitchens at Buckingham Palace, which has been conducted to such a high standard that they have now been awarded a Royal Warrant in recognition of their service.
Mark Francois visited the company and met with Managing Director Derek Murton and also his son David, who works as the company’s Operations Director. As well as their support to the Royal Household, European Refrigeration Ltd also support around 30 or more hotels in the London area plus a number of businesses in Essex as well.
Commenting on his visit to the award winning company Mark Francois said:
“I was delighted to meet the staff from European Refrigeration Ltd, who are rightfully very proud of being awarded a Royal Warrant, only a few of which are issued every year. It is a feather in Rayleigh’s cap that we have a family-run business like this working directly for the Royal Household and I hope to see the company go from strength to strength in the future.”
