From 1st June 2017, Well Dressed Tables will be introducing branded & numbered 4-sided cages. The 4 sides mean we’ll be able to continue to help save the environment as we will no longer be using pallet wrap. We will only be delivering catering equipment in these cages and collecting catering equipment that has been packed back into our cages.
All cages will be branded with our logo and numbered just like this;
We kindly ask that if items have been delivered in cages, you pack them back in our cages.
Any cages that are not available when we come to collect will be advised at the point of collection and also sent to you on your losses notification.
Please help save our cages from getting lost so that they can return home to Well Dressed Tables. Thank you in advance for you support. We look forward to working with you again soon.
