Mixing Success: The Process Behind Our Overnight Oats

 

A short blog this week, as the full story behind the creation of 600 individual overnight oat pots can be found on our detailed case study page – read it here. 

 

Here’s a quick look at the process; from the client’s initial enquiry to the successful delivery straight to their exhibition stand at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham. 

• Initial enquiry received – the client found us through a simple Google search for corporate catering in Birmingham! 

• Research and costing – we reviewed ingredient prices, packaging options and staff preparation costs. 

• Quotation submitted – a tailored proposal was sent to meet the client’s specific requirements. 

• Confirmation received – once approved, we got straight to work. 

• Prototype created – to test ingredient combinations, flavour, texture and transportation durability. 

• Order doubled! – following the prototype, the client decided to double their original order. 

• Procurement and preparation – all ingredients and materials were ordered and scheduled ahead of time. 

• Production line setup – our kitchen team worked in a streamlined, efficient line to ensure consistency. 

• Packaging and transport – robust packaging was used to maintain freshness during delivery. 

• Direct delivery to the NEC – our team ensured everything arrived on time and ready to serve. 

• Client feedback received – and what fantastic feedback it was! 

 

Not only did the client share this wonderful feedback, but her recommendation to hear colleague, led to an even bigger enquiry! It’s proof that our reliable service and quality event catering makes a lasting impression!
