A Devon firm which provides catering equipment and refrigeration engineering services to commercial kitchens has become employee-owned.
KF Bartlett, now trading as Bartlett, was originally founded in Exeter in 1958,and supplies and repairs ovens, dishwashers, freezers and air conditioning systems. The family-run business employs around 75 staff across its operation across Devon and Cornwall.
The company’s owners and managers David, Paul and Nicki Bartlett, have agreed to sell the business to an employee ownership trust, meaning workers will now enjoy a share of future profits.
