Sixty years is a long time in anyone’s book, and even longer in the fickle world of business.

Indeed, as the iconic commercial and domestic kitchen company, Burns & Ferrall, celebrates its anniversary there is much cause for congratulatory pats on the back.

What started with a handshake between one Mr Burns and Mr Ferrall in 1948 is now a huge enterprise, known for quality and consistency.

Describing themselves as the “stainless steel people”, and operating out of the Auckland suburb of Penrose, the original Burns & Ferrall began with a modest operation of strong basic sheet metal fabrication skills.

However, even then the company recognised the importance of investment in equipment and people, purchasing a major hydraulic press of 400 tonnes’ capacity within the space of just eight years.

Similarly the company addressed the design and manufacture of a significant range of commercial cooking equipment, pressure vessels and hospital autoclave sterilisers early on in its development phase.

Burns & Ferrall continues to be market leader in the domestic stainless steel industry and are proud to have been associated with the Franke brand for over 30 years. Franke, the world’s number one sink manufacture complements the Burns & Ferrall domestic sink range, which is to this day still manufactured at their Onehunga premises. So with the Franke, Burns & Ferrall and newly introduced AFA brand, Burns & Ferrall have the largest range of domestic sinks that will satisfy even the most discerning customer.

Today, the legacy of innovation continues, although Burns & Ferrall is certainly past the development phase: the privately owned operation has 165,000 sq ft of manufacturing plant, operates in three centres – Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and has over 130 employees. There is also a service network throughout New Zealand. Some 31 brands are represented by Burns & Ferrall, including the renowned Rational and Hobart ranges.

Burns & Ferrall carry an unrivalled and comprehensive range of products

for every imaginative function in a commercial kitchen.

In addition, since the purchase of the Kitchenware House in 2003, Burns & Ferrall are now able to provide a much more integrated solution to the hospitality industry. With the aim of providing a one stop shop, the purchase of The Kitchenware House enabled Burns & Ferrall to further reach this goal by being able to provide all the tabletop requirements from cutlery and crockery through to glassware.

The sheer size and history of the organisation attracted general manager sales and marketing Tony Broome and chief executive Chris George. Both men are relative newcomers to the enduring company, each having worked there for a little over 12 months since leaving the retail sector .

Tailored Solutions“The thing I like is the brands we

represent and the reputation of the company in the marketplace,” says George. The long-standing and mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers are also a plus. “We’ve just had the international president of Rational come to see the Hospitality Show – we’ve been with that brand for 15 years, and our longest standing relationship with a supplier is with Hobart, at 40 years.” In fact, as well as purchasing its product, Burns & Ferrall manufactures Hobart mixing bowls for Legacy mixers, which it exports to the UK and US.

Perhaps what Burns & Ferrall is best known for is the ability to tailor solutions to

the customer at either end of the spectrum – be it fine dining or quick service, Burns & Ferrall have an impressive array of clients across the entire industry spectrum. This speaks volumes as to the pedigree and reputation of Burns & Ferrall. The recent completion of the stunning new facilities at Coronet Peak is but one example of what the Burns & Ferrall team can achieve for a customer.

“We received lots of praise for Coronet Peak – it is one of the bigger projects we have done in terms of size and quick turnaround time.” says Broome.

The men are proud of the recent re-fit of Coronet Peak (the last Burns & Ferrall re-fit lasted 18 years), which they say will withstand any changes in technology.

“We sat down and gave the customer a solution which saved them a considerable amount of money and is future proof,” says Broome.

In fact, Burns and Ferrall is prepared to advise against the most expensive option if another is more appropriate to the customer.

“We, as a company firmly, believe it is more important to provide the most appropriate solution to match our customer’s requirements, rather than simply selling the most expensive option” says Broome.

Broome and George are also excited about the soon-to-be completed Kermadec Restaurant in Auckland – having worked comprehensively with Executive Chef Peter Thornley.

BURNS & FERRALL Celebrating 60 years | �

Gary Hayden’s career at Burns & Ferrall has lasted almost as long as his 40-year marriage.

Then 27, Hayden began as a sheet metal worker in January 1968 – three months after getting married.

Over the 40 years he has been with the company, his work has ranged from bench fabrication, to heavy plate work and on to quoting and installation. Today his title is project consultant and estimator.

His memory of Burns & Ferrall in the early days was of a brilliant and large company, engaged in a variety of work including making 12 foot diameter wine

tanks for the growing wine industry.“I always have had a high regard for the

company and it has treated me well. It has been a good marriage.”

Before joining Burns & Ferrall, Hayden had worked for a couple of sheet metalwork companies, he explains.

“I had done different types of work and finally settled on stainless steel because I found it more interesting.”

Of course, Hayden has seen Burns and Ferrall go through some changes in four decades – it expanded up until the mid to late 1980s and then hit a rough patch through 1987 and 1989.

Eventually Burns & Ferrall was bought

by its current owner, and changed its focus somewhat. The milk and wine tank production market had become saturated, he says.

“Every man and his dog was having a go, so we thought ‘no, we’ll get away from that.’”

When the market opened up under free trade agreements, and products such as sterilisers could be imported, the company moved away from the production of these also, he says.

These days, Hayden works three days a week and is unsure when he will retire.

“I enjoy working with the people. They are younger people and younger people keep you feeling young too, I think.”

Four decades of change

“We do get involved with customers because we think it is absolutely essential that senior management fully understands what the customer is looking for as well.”

Describing the company as a one-stop shop, George says the first interaction that a customer has with Burns & Ferrall will be with a salesperson. Crucially, these are highly trained individuals who really understand the industry – many having previously been professional chefs.

Former chefs not only understand the workings of the commercial kitchen, but they also come with great networking skills, George says.

One such team member is commercial kitchen specialist Richard Gray. Whenever Gray begins a project with a client seeking a new commercial kitchen, he works through a checklist to ensure nothing is overlooked. On the checklist are questions asking: what type of establishment the kitchen will service (restaurant, bar, café or institution), how many people are to be fed and over what time period; what the intended menu is; and what the method of service will be, ie, are the tables waited or is it a buffet? He also asks whether the energy available is natural gas, LPG or electricity.

After the initial contact with the sales team, the project will go to the CAD team. This stage of the process can require up to four drawings for a completed design. As soon as a client has agreed a plan, the whole project is handed over to national project manager Michael Klaja. A qualified chef, Klajais “precise and exacting” in his project management and

every design he has overseen has finished on time and on budget, says George. Another project manager will also ensure essential processes are completed, from obtaining building consent to dealing with electrical concerns.

The quality of the 24-7 maintenance service offered by Burns & Ferrall via its Gold Star maintenance programme is another of its secret weapons, says Broome.

“We are a long standing company, so there is no fear of us not being here tomorrow. We stand by the product and will repair it or replace it. You don’t want to buy a $250,000 dishwasher without the support.”

Burns & Ferrall employs 14 qualified service technicians and 35 agents around the country.

Passionate about serviceHaving come from the retail sector,

George and Broome are passionate about customer service and the process of tailoring a solution to a client’s needs.

“We’ve really applied the discipline we bought from retail, which is all about customer satisfaction.

In addition to a strong focus on the individual customer, Burns & Ferrall is outward looking and very much a supporter of the hospitality industry. The company is a major sponsor of the Chef’s Association (platinum), Restaurant Association and Bakery Association.

It has also recently held the first Secondary Schools Barista Competition, and provides scholarships for tertiary students in cookery subjects.

This sort of support creates loyalty among young chefs and gives something back to the industry. It also ensures Burns & Ferrall stays up to date with the latest trends and developments.

And speaking of trends, the big thing right now is to cook and chill, creating a far more cost-effective and productive kitchen, Broome says. The Rational SelfCooking Centre is an example of this technology – resulting in lower labour costs and a better end product to the consumer, he says.

“As more and more customers demand increased quality of product, hospitality operators have to provide cost-effective consistency. You can almost eat the percentage points achieved because of the reduction in shrinkage and the additional yield through the Rational,” Broome says. “Smart technology is all about constantly providing reductions in operating costs.”

Burns & Ferrall are confident they will be leading the way in providing cost effective customer focussed solutions for another 60 years and beyond.

Restaurant Schwass in Christchurch is highly praised by connoisseurs.

The award of “South Island Restaurant of the Year 2008” once again confirms the recipe for success of owner and chef Jonny Schwass, “My cooking concentrates on maintaining the pure natural character of the product, its colour and its consistency. With the SelfCooking Center we can now acheive this better than ever.

With around 40 covers, Restaurant Schwass offers an especially personal atmosphere.

Jonny Schwass says “For us, every guest is unique and therefore deserves a unique service. For this we create three-course menus which change every week and in which we mainly use regional products. These dishes are work-intensive, but with the SelfCooking Center this is now no longer an issue. From sweet dishes such as White Chocolate Brulee – one of our

specialities – to crispy pork tenderloins ... everything is cooked to perfection thanks to the SelfCooking Center.

With the SelfCooking Center we simply work smarter. We prefer to develop new creations and leave the routine work to the SelfCooking Center. We are continuously discovering new ways in which the SelfCooking Center can help make our guests even happier. The flexibility is enormous and is basically only limited by our own imagination and the seasonally available products. You could think that this appliance had been specially developed for my concept of cooking: to cook everything as naturally as possible.

The weight losses are considerably lower, every dish receives exactly the cooking which it needs to develop its optimum taste and the usual losses, for example due to preparation mistakes, are practically excluded. Fortunately, we no longer need complicated programming and monitoring

of the cooking processes. Of course this increases our profitability. I already knew from my work as captain of the New Zealand Culinary Team that RATIONAL performs excellently in the kitchen. However, since working with the SelfCooking Center myself, I have become a real fan. Above all,” smiles Jonny Schwass, “because it also saves me from tedious cleaning. The CleanJet function cleans the SelfCooking Center completely automatically.”

“Even now, I would no longer like to be without the SelfCooking Center, although I have by no means exhausted its possibilities yet.”

“Since I started working with the SelfCooking Center far more guests want to see my kitchen. They can hardly believe everything that we create with this appliance – and all in top quality.”

“In our small kitchen the SelfCooking Center delivers a great performance in a minimum space.”

The Langham, Auckland where quality counts

The five-star 410-room Langham, Auckland features an elegant and opulent

environment reflecting the increased international preference for traditional luxury.

The Hotel features a range of award-winning restaurants and lounges including the

renowned Partingtons (New Zealand Restaurant of the Year 2006 and 2007; Culinary

Fare). The Langham, Auckland is a member of the prestigious group, ‘The Leading

Hotels of the World’, a global brand representing the finest in hotel luxury.

When it came to choosing a new dishwashing machine for The Langham, Auckland, executive chef Ofir Yudilevich didn’t need to ponder over which company to approach.

As suppliers of the well-known Hobart brand, Burns & Ferrall (with whom the hotel has been working for more than 10 years) was the obvious choice.

“We decided to go with Hobart because of the size, and because of the fact that there are thousands of units around the world. We also looked at considerations around environmental friendliness, including using less water,” Yudilevich says.

The new $120,000 machine has the capacity to wash some 3600 plates an hour.

A piece of equipment like this obviously requires back up, and Yudilevich is delighted with the service programme provided by Burns & Ferrall – a three year maintenance programme and a two-year warranty.

“With Burns & Ferrall, you just give them a call and they are here in half an hour.”

The combination of a reputable brand and supply company is essential when making a big purchase, he says.

“It is quite hard to go and ask your boss for $100,000 and you can’t do it everyday. When you do buy a piece of equipment it has to be from someone you trust – from someone that you know. Hobart is all around

the world and Burns & Ferrall is a big company and is going to be around for a while.

“It is quite different to the food side of things because as a chef you’re looking for small artisan suppliers that can service you for one season, but with equipment you are looking for someone that is going to be there for the next 20 years.”

Purchasing the dishwasher, including getting approval and purchase orders was a year-long process, and the machine actually took about three months to arrive,

he addsAs well as the Hobart dishwasher, The

Langham has seven Rational Combi Ovens, also supplied through Burns & Ferrall. Yudilevich says the Rational is every bit as good as it is purported to be.

“If you think about it, it is an oven that you can steam in, roast in and steam roast in. You can cook in any degree that you want. It self cleans, it is HACCP certified and you can plug a USBN port into it. It is really the Mercedes Benz of ovens – it can do anything you want it to do, there is no

limit to it.”When purchasing kitchen equipment,

price is only one consideration, although obviously it has to be competitive, he says.

When you are looking at buying anything there is always someone out there who will sell you a cheap piece of equipment, but we don’t want to get into price wars, we want quality.

“We understand other suppliers that have the same sort of vision. Hobart is about quality and Burns & Ferrall do believe in that.”

Ofir Yudilevich oversees The Langham’s team of 3� chefs. Ofir’s career in hospitality dates back 17 years and has seen him working in Fiji, Thailand, Israel and London. While in London he worked for Caprice Holding’s three famed restaurants: The Ivy, Le Caprice and J Sheekeys. His association with The Langham’s Symonds Street property dates back to 1994 when the property was a Sheraton and Ofir worked as a commis chef. He returned to the property in 2000 as sous chef and was promoted to executive sous chef in 2002 and executive chef in December 2005, 11 months after the Hotel became The Langham.

Not everyone can deliver within a narrow timeframe but Burns and Ferrall managed to do this and more when they worked with Arrow International on the new commercial kitchen installation at Coronet Peak.

The company was engaged by Arrow International who acted as project and construction managers for the overall redevelopment of the iconic skiing site.

“Around 85 per cent of the original building was demolished prior to construction commencing, leaving just the

basement intact,” says Arrow International project manager, Craig Brosnan. “It took us seven months and seven days to complete the job from demolition through to the building opening for the ski season. We engaged Burns and Ferrall to work with us and design and install the kitchen. They were on board quickly and flew to Queenstown as soon as they were engaged. We held joint workshops and Burns and Ferrall created preliminary drawings on their CAD system during the workshops.

“This enabled changes to be made

immediately, which was fantastic given the short time frame for the project. We had to finish for the start of the 2008 ski season. There were no ifs and buts about it. This meant that the window of opportunity for Burns and Ferrall to install and commission the kitchen was very small which was not an issue for them as they had a large team on site for the installation with the right attitude and the ability to resolve any issues which arose. It was a fantastic outcome and the client and Arrow were extremely pleased with the end result.”

Quick-service restaurant giant McDonald’s has enjoyed a relationship with Burns & Ferrall since 1��6.

McDonald’s Restaurants equipment consultant Bob Davidson says the iconic kitchen company (B&F) is a preferred supplier, distributing and servicing several top-quality brands to many of its restaurants.

Among these key brands are Garland – clamshell grills, AJ Antunes – vertical bun toasters and muffin toasters, Prince Castle - bun steamers, Franke Commercial – refrigerated fry dispensers, Frymaster – fryers, universal holding cabinets and ‘heated landing zones’ – the point where the burgers end up before they reach the counter.

These brands are globally approved and can be found in 30,000 restaurants worldwide, Davidson says.

One of the restaurant chain’s recent refurbishments was Auckland’s Greenlane McDonald’s (pictured). In this case, the restaurant was ‘re-imaged’ to reflect modern décor and the McCafe part of the establishment was re-positioned, he says.

“In the early days we had McCafe as a

separate dining experience and with the pressures on labour, time and product choice we decided that we would bring McCafe back in line with the front counter which streamlines restaurant operations and customer service.”

The whole design process for the Greenlane branch took about two months, and the restaurant was closed for about three weeks in December 2007 for kitchen installation, he says.

Other McDonald’s fit-outs recently or soon to be completed involving Burns & Ferrall include sites in Motueka, Manurewa, Rotorua and Papamoa, Davidson says.

Burns & Ferrall national service manager Gerhard Nagele is proud of the company’s involvement with such a high profile client.

“We put a very high value on our relationship with McDonald’s,”he says “it has been ongoing for a number of years, and we work very closely with global suppliers to ensure that we have got the latest product information and procedures and so on, to ensure that we can do here in New Zealand exactly what is done everywhere else in the world.”

The company meets regularly with McDonald’s New Zealand to make sure day-to-day operational issues are addressed, Nagele says.

In addition, McDonald’s carries out annual reviews on Burns & Ferrall’s performance, he says.

“The comment from McDonald’s New Zealand was that we were actually their best service agent across the country – we put a lot of value in that. It’s very good to hear that we get that sort of comment.

“Our service network looks after customers right across New Zealand 24-7. That is a pretty strong statement and we can go out to any other customer that wants our service support and they can have confidence that if McDonald’s says that we are the best agent, then we actually deliver.”

Nagele adds that Burns & Ferrall keeps something like $1 million dollars worth of spare parts to support service delivery.

“Most of the technicians and even the agents across the country have got spare parts vans, so when they get a call up on a Saturday night at 10pm for a fryer they can fix it within a very short time period and the business is up and running again.”

When Auckland’s Angus Steak House moved to a new location last year, it was with the help of Burns and Ferrall – and the restaurant’s management team are delighted with the results.

The well-known eatery moved to its new location in Fort Street last November after operating on Albert Street for 40 years.

Burns and Ferrall was given a specific brief by Angus Steak House’s architects.

The Angus Steak House management say Burns and Ferrall worked with them

to accommodate their needs within a set budget. Their new restaurant needed more than just an ‘ordinary’ kitchen. It needed to work as more of a preparation area than a serving area. Burns and Ferrall created exactly what the Angus Steak House wanted and say it is working very well.

The new-look Angus Steak House resides within two formerly separate businesses. Neither were restaurants which meant starting from scratch by taking out walls and bricks and merging the two entities. The end result is a modern

restaurant that caters for 100 people seven days each week.

The management of Angus Steak House say Burns and Ferrall did a good job custom making equipment and working with both them and their architect. They were pleased with the way everyone worked together as a team and the fact Burns and Ferrall’s support didn’t stop with the restaurant’s re-opening. Management say having Burns and Ferrall so readily available for servicing equipment, if needed, makes their jobs, and those of their staff, much easier.
