England plays Argentina today. The atmosphere will be brilliant, and fans will pack all bars and pubs. However, this massive crowd, combined with the July heat, will push refrigeration equipment to the absolute limit.

You cannot afford an ice machine failure or warm drinks right before halftime. We want you to enjoy the match and keep your revenue flowing.

Read our five quick steps below to prepare your coolers before the whistle blows. Let the Caterglobe service team handle any technical emergencies so you can focus on the football.

The Caterglobe team recently completed installation that came with a few challenges.

The job involved moving heavy bakery equipment through a very narrow opening and transporting it from the top floor to the lower ground floor. With careful planning and teamwork, our engineers safely manoeuvred the equipment into position and got everything ready for operation.

We like sharing these behind-the-scenes moments as they show the practical problem-solving that goes into every installation.

A commercial kitchen does not stop because one piece of equipment breaks. It slows down, scrambles, and waits for someone to fix it.

That someone is usually an expert engineer from Caterglobe.

This time we followed Noel through a full day. Four jobs, three equipment types, oven faults, a dishwasher problem, an ice machine. Each site had its own situation. Each one needed a clean diagnosis and a reliable fix.

Noel has been doing this for over 15 years. The technical range is there. But ask him what he values most about the work and he will tell you it is customer satisfaction.

When you book a Caterglobe engineer, that combination is what you are getting.
Check out a sneak peek of Noel’s day on the job. Let us know if we should create similar videos for all our engineering team.

We have some fantastic news to share. Please join us in officially welcoming Vlad as a permanent member of the Caterglobe team.

Vlad joined us a short while ago and spent his probation period sharpening his skills. He has adapted to the Caterglobe culture so smoothly that it already feels as though he has been with us for years.

As our new Service Coordinator, Vlad manages the daily schedules of our engineering team with an incredible can-do attitude. His background in the travel industry is a massive asset, translating perfectly into efficient route planning for our engineers on the road.

Outside of work, Vlad is a passionate musician who plays guitar, bass, and provides vocals. He also loves exploring live music gigs and local pubs. In fact, he has a list of all the popular venues in London and around the UK.

We are absolutely delighted to have you with us permanently, Vlad. Welcome
aboard.

The back office maps the access points, checks parking restrictions, plans the delivery window, and coordinates the schedule around the location. Central London jobs can mean 3:00 am starts or 1:00 am finishes, depending on road access, loading bay availability, and the surrounding area. That planning does not happen on the day. It happens days, if not weeks, before.

On the ground, the engineers deal with what no plan fully accounts for. Roads that are busier than expected. Access points that are tighter than the drawings showed. Heavy equipment that has to move through narrow corridors without damaging the site or disturbing the neighbours.

The work is physical. The hours are unsociable. The margin for error is low.

What makes it work is the team behind it. Back office and engineers stay in contact throughout. If something changes on site, the plan adjusts. If a delivery window shifts, the schedule moves with it.

Most clients see a completed job. The logistics that got it there stay invisible. That is the point.

Frank joined Caterglobe at the end of last year. He had no exposure to the catering industry before joining. All he had was the willingness to learn. In a few months he turned that willingness into actual achievements.

He has already passed his F-Gas certification and last week completed the Commercial Catering Equipment Electrical Competency Course (CCEECC).

These certifications are just the tip of the iceberg, and we are confident that Frank is going to go a long way in this industry.

We believe in creating a culture for our team that reflects continuous learning and improvement.

Well done, Frank. And best of luck.

Most kitchen breakdowns are not bad luck. They are missed services.

A compressor burnout that costs over £1,500 does not happen overnight. Dirty condenser coils, months of extra strain, then complete failure. The warning signs were there the whole time.

The same pattern runs across refrigeration, ice machines, provers, bread slicers, and ovens. Equipment runs fine until it does not. And when it fails mid-service, the cost is not just the repair. It is the lost covers, the wasted stock, and an engineer call-out at short notice.

Emergency repairs cost three to four times more than planned ones. Planned maintenance does not remove that cost. It just means you pay it on your terms.

Caterglobe runs PPM contracts across commercial kitchens in London and Manchester. If your service schedule has gaps, now is the time to close them.
