Victor Optimax Inspires in Hartlepool

The new Inspirations Coffee House in Hartlepool, features a British manufactured eye-catching counter designed and built by Victor Manufacturing.

The coffee house has opened to great acclaim, attracting 2,770 customers through its doors in the first month. Inspiration’s Coffee House offers a range of delicious food and beverages, including fresh coffees prepared by trained baristas.

The Hartlepool Borough Council Inspirations Coffee House and Garden Centre, was developed to contribute to the local authority’s strategy to generate additional income to help support frontline jobs and services during the current economic climate. 

When designing the service counter, it was important to the council that the most energy efficient components were used, and Victor’s Optimax refrigerated display units were incorporated into the design of the striking granite topped counter. Optimax refrigerated units under laboratory tests have been found to reduce energy consumption by as much as 50% over comparable models.
                               
An officer of Hartlepool Borough Council, who was involved in designing the layout of the service area noted: “We have found the Optimax units to be very effective, and the display cabinet complements the new servery area extremely well.

The unit allows us to display the great range of food and beverages we have on offer to our customers, and always retains the correct temperature. As the coffee shop is a new concept, we cannot measure the energy savings against any previous use, but we are very happy with the performance of the Optimax cabinets to date.”

Peter Brewin, Marketing Manager at Victor explains: “Nowadays energy savings are a major consideration in any purchasing decision. And for any purchase of front of house display units, Victor can offer added value incentives such as genuine energy savings, product that can be adapted to fit in with chosen colours and branding; capacity to satisfy demand; and ease of access for restocking and cleaning.”
