We’re here to reduce your pain at work, get a 10% off discount exclusive to members: CGC10 at www.wearertech.com

Shoes that increase your wellbeing?

Yes, really.

We’re a leading shoe manufacturer set out to increase health and wellbeing for people on their feet all day and reduce pain for these people. Did you know that 90% of workers that spend the majority of the working day on their feet have experience pain in the last 12 months as a result of their work?

Being on your feet al day has a huge impact on the body and leads to a real problem in health and wellbeing, particularly musculoskeletal disorders (technical word for pain!).

We work with the Salford University to study movement and biomechanics and how this has an impact on the body. This helps us design shoes specifically for you, reducing pain and fatigue at the end of long shifts.

The WearerTech Impact

It’s fairly obvious that when you’re comfortable you give more than when you’re in pain. We always knew that but one of our global customers has carried out an independent study which told us something pretty incredible…

After wearing WearerTech’s, the supervisor recorded:

  • A 26.2% increase in productivity
  • An 85% increase in customer experience
  • 38% more employee engagement

These results have blown us away. The fact that such significant impact can be made by simply changing the type of footwear is immense. WearerTech allows you to take that existing expense and turn it into a productivity driving investment. Use discount code CGC10 at www.wearertech.com.

Classic Wine Library

Classic Wine Library
The offer code is CHEFSPECIAL15.

This allows members 15% off Classic Wine Library books purchased here: http://bit.ly/BuyClassics. It’s valid from today until the end of November 2021. 

The Classic Wine Library was set up to enlighten and entertain those serious about wine (and a few other drinks too). The series has a history stretching back more than fifty years and has been published by Infinite Ideas since 2013.

Books are detailed enough to provide plenty of information – much of which is not available anywhere else – for students of wine, sommeliers and others who work in the wine industry.

The series is also accessible enough to be enjoyed by anybody with an enthusiasm for wine. All the authors are expert in their subject, many are Masters of Wine and all have years of experience in the wine industry. Not only that, but the whole series is edited and curated by an editorial board.

Sarah Jane Evans MW, Richard Mayson and James Tidwell MS are well-known in the wine industry and their expertise and opinions are widely respected. Each title is commissioned based on their recommendations and the manuscript assessed thoroughly by one or more of the editorial board before being published.

This rigorous approach makes these wine books distinctively authoritative: in a world of dubious information, the Classic Wine Library is one-resource serious wine lovers and professionals can really trust.

The Wasabi Company

The Wasabi Company
For a 12-month period from 01/10/20, The Wasabi Company is offering a 10% discount to any orders placed by members of the Craft Guild of Chefs. Simply quote Code: CraftGuild when placing your order on thewasabicompany.co.uk.

With farms in Hampshire and Dorset, The Wasabi Company is the only grower of wasabi in the UK. The plants are grown in (disused) Victorian watercress beds to mimic the Japanese mountainside, their native environment.

The Wasabi Company cultivates tens of thousands of wasabi plants, yielding up to 2 tons of wasabi a year. Everything is done by hand from the planting and harvesting of the plants, to the preparation of the rhizomes for their customers. The plants take two years to mature so it’s been a long journey, learning about the foibles of the plant as they’ve gone along, but it’s been worth it, and they now supply many of the UK’s top restaurants including Umu, Ynyshir Hall, Gordon Ramsay and The Raby Hunt.

As well as growing fresh wasabi, The Wasabi Company also sells an extensive range of Japanese products from small artisanal producers and makes a range of Wasabi Company own-label products including the only mustard and mayonnaise containing fresh wasabi, a wasabi vodka and various products that feature the classic Japanese citrus fruit Yuzu, many of which have been awarded Great Taste Awards.

All the products can be viewed and bought from thewasabicompany.co.uk

The Products 

Although fresh English wasabi remains the beating heart of The Wasabi Company, product expansion has been, and is, customer led as top chefs have asked for ever more specialist Japanese products to accompany their fresh wasabi orders.

This has resulted in The Wasabi Company developing an exciting and unique portfolio of specialist ingredients and products, many of which are exclusive to the UK. They work with a number of small, artisanal Japanese producers to supply top quality soy sauces, vinegars, sakes, miso and noodles to name but a few of the products on offer.

The Wasabi Company has also launched its own-label range of condiments and sauces including English wasabi mayonnaise, English wasabi mustard, Yuzu mayonnaise & Yuzu mustard. Using all-natural ingredients these products are fresh tasting with perfectly balanced flavours and packed with citrus and umami, the very essence of Japanese cuisine. Originally aimed at the retail market, these are now also available to the HORECA sector.
