The multi award winning Pete Theocharous, from the Pete's Chippery group, knows exactly what he wants - not only does he want great fish and chips, quality kebabs and great locations he also demands a reliable range. Already the family including his 2 sons Stelios & Georgio, are owner of 2 extremely successful shops he then located a third site in Nuneaton and then he called Florigo.

'My other shops have not had the most reliable of ranges' said Pete, 'I had heard great things about Florigo but had always thought they would be too expensive - I now know that's just not true!'.

The new shop had been a fish and chip shop but had been closed for many years and needed total refurbishment - the work finally started in November 2006 and involved gutting the interior totally - this meant that shop could be designed from scratch to the exact requirements of Pete and family - they know what makes a successful shop and people eat with their eyes first.

Pete called Robert Furey from Florigo UK and together they looked at the possibilities for the new site - working together they decided on a 5 pan island range, touchscreen computer controls and two separate filtration systems - one for the fish and chips and one for the southern fried chicken (as this will stop the spicy flavours getting into the clean oil). As every florigo is bespoke Florigo were able to get every single detail Pete wanted to achieve his perfect range.

In April 2007 they were finally ready to take delivery and early one morning the bespoke, hand crafted range, counter and kebab section arrived on site - the island counter (with built in display refrigeration) was over 7 metres long! The install team from Electrotest were on hand to ensure that everything went smoothly and as planned.

'It was amazing' says Stelios, 'to watch it all come together - As a family we have worked very hard to achieve this result and I have to say so far the Florigo has done all that was promised and in my opinion its worth every penny. The amount of trade we have generated at the new site has been phenomenal - we have not even used all of the pans yet and it's more than coping.'

Mark Petrou, from Petrou Brothers has become firm friends with Stelios and the family and is happy to share his ideas on how to get the best from the range, the staff and his shop - 'The Theocharous family' says Mark 'impressed me from the first time I met them, to meet such a forward thinking family unit who understand what is required to be the best in the business is inspiring. and I was honoured and more than happy to offer assistance'.

The final word to Pete himself 'All I can say is that I am very grateful to Robert Furey for his time & patience, we had a few delays with the shop refurbishment and Florigo were more than willing to accommodate the problems - it all went more smoothly than I could have wished. I would also like to pass on a big thank you to Mark Petrou who is giving us his time and expertise - it really is appreciated'.
