Chop Butchery & Viking Hire
Faced with the challenges of a clear labour shortage and efforts to protect cash flow stunting growth, Dave Funnell of Chop Butchery / Sydney Wholesale Meats was looking for a way to alleviate this, whilst simultaneously expanding operations.
Chop Butchery is a retail butcher store in New South Wales, now with 12 store locations all over the state:
- Bateau Bay
- Belrose
- Carnes Hill
- Castle Hill
- East Maitland
- Frenchs Forest
- Richmond
- Penrith – Nepean Village
- Penrith – Westfield
- St. Ives
- St. Marys
When visiting their retail locations, you can expect a wholesome selection of fresh products with the trademark Chop Butchery positive vibe (and a 24hr Meat Vending Machine).
Sydney Wholesale Meats is the wholesale arm of the business, supplying freshly processed meat to restaurants, pubs, clubs and supermarkets all over New South Wales daily.
As part of their offering, at their Head Office at Richmond, is the opportunity for the public to access the same high quality meat at wholesale prices.
With the intention to continue to grow their operations all over New South Wales, Dave found Viking Hire to be an natural fit for his business, allowing him to hire his equipment for a long-term period, and protect his cash flow to focus on other areas of the business and open multiple sites.
Viking’s ‘boots on the ground’ service support also meant that he was confident that all the equipment could be locally maintained, with minimal interruption to workflows from the service team. Match that with packaging solutions for all our equipment, makes Viking Hire a no-brainer for every operator in the food industry.
The limitations of staff is also a hindrance for expansion. If you want to push through more product, you’ve either got to have the staff to do it manually with a higher chance of downtime or malfunction, or industrial-sized equipment to do it in one press of a button.
With the addition of hiring industrial sized equipment like hoists and Thompson 5000 Mincers, this meant that Dave’s team would be able to push through more tonnage, ‘without breaking their backs’.
Good choice Dave.
The Viking Hire Fleet boasts equipment of all sizes, to suit every application and need. It is a great solution for businesses with the intention of expansion to protect cash flow and incorporate the latest technology to ensure efficient workflows. This includes ULMA Thermoformers, Smoke Ovens, Mixer Mincers, Vacuum Packers, and much more.
Do you have plans for expansion on the horizon, or are there limitations in place that hire can alleviate?
