Edwards & Blake opens first fully commercial operation in Nwes multi-tenanted centre


Edwards and Blake has partnered with Nwes to offer high quality cafe bar and catering services in the Suffolk Enterprise Centre office complex in Ipswich, Suffolk.

The Kiln Cafe is on the fourth floor at Felaw Maltings where we are running our first non-subsidised, fully commercial operation within an office environment. The South Maltings part of the complex is managed by Nwes, the leading business consultancy and premises company.

In collaboration with Nwes, we have refurbished and rebranded the dining area to reflect the high-quality offering of high-street style food and beverage menus that we will be serving to the 450+ tenants and members of the public. Hospitality will also be provided for events and special occasions.

Adrian Cooke, our Director of Sales and Operations, said, “We are very excited to be launching our first fully commercial venture in a multi-tenanted complex. Our commercial service model which focuses on delivering a range of menus that will maximise sales, is the next logical step in our continued growth and evolution.

'We were delighted to be the first choice for Nwes who were impressed with our extensive B&I experience and our culture of innovation and excellence. We’re looking forward to developing our partnership and exploring further opportunities with Nwes in the near future.”

Linsey Cullen, Manager of Nwes Suffolk Operations, said, “We are delighted to have Edwards & Blake on board at Suffolk Enterprise Centre and are looking forward to seeing the Kiln Cafe blossom over the coming weeks and months.

'There are a number of key improvements being made to the centre to provide the best added value to our tenants, and a locally-sourced, high-quality catering option is absolutely key to this vision.”
