Essex based Raynor Foods, winners of Sandwich Manufacturer of the year 2010/11, are please to announce the launch of a new venture!  In association with The Platter Company they are to begin a trial supplying Tesco with a range of high quality platters, ideal for lunch, meetings and parties at home.  Raynors, based in Chelmsford, are to start the trial with Tesco in a number of key stores throughout the south of Essex during February and March, with a view to national distribution following on later this year.

“It is a great opportunity for us to bring our unparalleled quality and attention to detail to supermarket customers.” Says Operations Manager Adam Newland.  “The thought and care that has gone into developing these products has produced something really special.  These platters can really take the work out of preparing for a party or meeting and still have the “wow” factor to impress your guests.”

Richard Booth and Darren Smith, the owners of The Platter Company are excited to be working with Raynor Foods on the new venture.

“The Platter Company is all about bringing beautifully presented, table ready platters to the millions social gatherings that occurred in the UK each year.”  Said Richard

The range has 16 varieties including luxury sandwich platters, cold meat platters, crudités and antipasti.  There are also platters of fruit, wraps and a sandwich platter ideal for children.  All are prepared daily to order, in Raynors award winning sandwichporium in Chelmsford.
