OUR STORY
When we originally set up LK Events, 15 years ago, we started in our home kitchens with our 5 young children running around our feet. As the business grew we decided it was time to move to an industrial unit which is where we still are, at Plumpton.
This was a huge step and as a business we had to invest financially to create a working professional kitchen. At the time it felt like a brave and scary decision but not one that either of us have regretted.
We realised that it was easier to divide our work and home lives, we could close the door, switch off the light and recharge our batteries between events. It enabled us to take on larger and sometimes several events simultaneously. It was a pivotal moment in the growth of our business.
It hasn’t been without its hiccups, what business hasn’t had challenging times, COVID hit us all. We had to pull together and use our initiative to reinvent ourselves and find different ways of providing catering at a social distance, which in itself is slightly contradictory! We did it and amazingly we survived.
We believe that our business has grown and evolved because two things have stayed a constant, we, Louise and Katie, are still at the heart of the business and we work well together. We have different strengths but together we are stronger. We are both passionate about what we do, creating a catering experience which is personal to each client, listening to their brief, creating a menu cohesively and delivering a discrete but professional service.
Our second constant has been our kitchen in Plumpton. If the walls could talk they could share stories of laughter, tears, smells of cooking, deliveries, a taster cooking demo, tastings with couples, the list is endless but we are grateful for our LK HQ. We are also grateful to all our clients and LK Team.
Thank you
