Platebox announces Emma Watkins as the new Divisional Director
Platebox, a leading transport and logistics solution for the education and public sectors, is pleased to announce the appointment of Emma Watkins as the new Divisional Director.
Watkins has worked within the contract catering industry for 25 years, handling contracts totalling in excess of £25 million. Watkins will be overseeing the operational delivery and strategic growth of Platebox nationally.
Watkins said: “I am excited to start my role with Platebox to support education catering companies up and down the country by ensuring their lunches are delivered in the best condition so the children can enjoy healthy nutritious lunches to help them learn. After working in the education sector for so many years, this ethos has always been close to my heart and has cemented my views on the importance we should all place on good food. To now be in a strategic position to ensure this happens nationally is an exciting journey I’m looking forward to begin through Platebox.”
Tevin added: “As an agile business, we are constantly reviewing our operational procedures to ensure we are well positioned to provide an efficient service for our clients and customers. Emma’s years of experience and diverse background within the industry will be invaluable as we seek to grow our business to help ensure more schools nationally safely receive their lunches in a timely manner.”
To show our appreciation of their hard work and importance to the organisation, our Divisional Director Emma Watkins presented some of our amazing drivers with brand new Chromebook laptops.
Our drivers at Platebox have delivered millions of meals across the country this year during the heights of the pandemic, ensuring restaurants, pubs, bars and school children have the necessary supplies and food items to get through their days.
Our drivers are #morethan delivery drivers, they are an asset to our company, our communities and our society!
