Campbell's Kitchen

"Planglow’s products are certainly a selling point when it comes to engaging new corporate clients as we’re able to say our packaging is compostable, it makes it easier to convert an enquiry into a sale. 

 

"We started out using plastic trays in 2011, that was the accepted norm but we weren't happy with it from an ethical standpoint or in terms of the visual impact. We got a load of products in and Planglow's were the best - both in terms of being able to hold the volume of food and in the overall presentation. 

 

"We’ve tried see-through lids from another company but they’re just not sturdy, you can’t stack them on top of each other. With Planglow’s however, I know I’m good, so if I’m catering for say 100 people, I’m confident I can place them on top of one another carrying them from the van. This makes five trips from what could otherwise easily be 20 back and forth".

Café At Bristol, Bristol

Kevin Collett had been with leading contract caterer Elior for five years when he moved to the then Elior run Café At-Bristol which was housed inside top science and discovery-based visitor attraction At-Bristol (now We the Curious). During this time, Kevin led the Café At-Bristol from strength to strength, securing multiple awards and accreditations for sustainability along the way. Here he shares why he chose to use compostable packaging from Planglow.

The Red River Café , Heartlands

Heartlands is a World Heritage Gateway site in the former mining heart of Cornwall. Situated at Robinson’s shaft near Redruth, the site was an operational tin mine for nearly 400 years until its closure in 1998. Reopening as a free visitor attraction in 2012, the 19 acre site included state of the art exhibitions, climb on sculptures, diverse gardens, playscape, craft studios and the Red River Café. Housed in the former carpenter’s workshop, the 130-cover Red River Café also encompassed four meeting rooms and 170-seat hall that catered for locals and tourists alike. Former hospitality manager James Curnow explained why he chose to work with Planglow.

The French Tarte: Custom Design Packaging

Choosing items from a stock Planglow's range, TFT then opted to have products custom designed by Planglow as well as to further support the brand. So a label, napkin, bio cup, deli paper and bag utilising TFT logo and colours were developed.
