“I launched Especial almost two decades ago with one ambition: to marry distinguished design with operational excellence. I watched as owners and operators in the food service and retail industries struggled to find the products that worked for them and knew we could deliver. I saw the lack of creativity and vision and knew that we could provide it. I saw the same cookie-cutter approach, that didn’t take into account the unique needs of every client, and knew we could offer solutions.

Today Especial is the leading supplier of catering wares and specially designed products in the sector. But we don’t just assemble collections, we curate them, working with a host of international partners, big and small. We understand that food is what connects you to your customers and so build the strongest bridge possible between the two, helping you to cement relationships and boost profits. We take on the task of making food look fabulous so it’s not just presented, but proudly presented.”
