About Supplier	Caterprep was formed in 2018 and currently produces over 200 different ready to use prepared lines to help busy chefs save time and money in the kitchen, without compromising on quality, specification or freshness. The team is made up of a mixture of chefs, kitchen and manufacturing experienced members, who help us deliver the product range our customers are looking for. We can produce 1,000 kilos of potatoes per hour, and are constantly updating our range to accomodate customer requests and the latest food trends.
About Producer	Caterite stock over 350 lines of fresh fruit and vegetables ranging from all the basics, to micro herbs, edible flowers, seasonal greens, salad essentials and exotics. Through our customer base we have developed and grown the range over a number of years, and now offer the most expansive and accessible fresh produce range in Cumbria. Over fifty percent of our business is fresh, so we understand the importance of availability, quality and price. Unlike most other wholesalers, we purchase direct from growers or farmers in the UK and Europe. We have a produce hub in Lancashire where all of our local and nationwide sourced goods from farmers and growers are collated and then delivered daily directly to our depot. From field to Caterite and to our customers in less than 24 hours, it just does not get any fresher.
Ingredient Sourcing	We try to source our ingredients from local growers or at least UK suppliers as much as possible to reduce the time products spend in transit and help reduce food miles and our carbon footprint. We also try to source from growers and exporters whenever we can to minimise the involvement of secondary wholesalers. This gives us maximum control over product quality and keeps us competitive on pricing, allowing our customers to enjoy quality seasonal products at their best value.
