United Kingdom ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The UK, a leading trading power and financial center, is the second largest economy in Europe after Germany. Over the past two decades, the government has greatly reduced public ownership and contained the growth of social welfare programs. Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanized, and efficient by European standards, producing about 60% of food needs with less than 2% of the labor force. The UK has large coal, natural gas, and oil resources, but its oil and natural gas reserves are declining and the UK became a net importer of energy in 2005. Services, particularly banking, insurance, and business services, account by far for the largest proportion of GDP while industry continues to decline in importance. After emerging from recession in 1992, Britain's economy enjoyed the longest period of expansion on record during which time growth outpaced most of Western Europe. In 2008, however, the global financial crisis hit the economy particularly hard, due to the importance of its financial sector. Sharply declining home prices, high consumer debt, and the global economic slowdown compounded Britain's economic problems, pushing the economy into recession in the latter half of 2008 and prompting the then BROWN (Labour) government to implement a number of measures to stimulate the economy and stabilize the financial markets; these include nationalizing parts of the banking system, temporarily cutting taxes, suspending public sector borrowing rules, and moving forward public spending on capital projects. Facing burgeoning public deficits and debt levels, in 2010 the CAMERON-led coalition government (between Conservatives and Liberal Democrats) initiated a five-year austerity program, which aimed to lower London's budget deficit from over 10% of GDP in 2010 to nearly 1% by 2015. In November 2011, Chancellor of the Exchequer George OSBORNE announced additional austerity measures through 2017 because of slower-than-expected economic growth and the impact of the euro-zone debt crisis. The CAMERON government raised the value added tax from 17.5% to 20% in 2011. It has pledged to reduce the corporation tax rate to 21% by 2014. The Bank of England (BoE) implemented an asset purchase program of up to £375 billion (approximately $605 billion) as of December 2012. During times of economic crisis, the BoE coordinates interest rate moves with the European Central Bank, but Britain remains outside the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). In 2012, weak consumer spending and subdued business investment weighed on the economy. GDP fell 0.1%, and the budget deficit remained stubbornly high at 7.7% of GDP. Public debt continued to increase.

Business Description     

 

Kavis Ltd is your one source for catering disposable products and fresh washroom solutions. As a family firm, our aim is always to meet our customers' demands, a philosophy that has been with us through our 30 years in business. Our range is sourced from a number of manufacturers both in the UK and internationally, and we represent a number of well known brands. We are also a member of a number of industry associations including the FPA (Food Packaging Association), LACA (Local Authority Caterers Association), NCASS (National Caterers Association) and business partner to the Craft Guild of Chefs. This enables us to keep up with any issues and developments within our market sectors. Kavis offers wide choices of catering disposable products made from Plastic, Foil, Foam and Paper. Products available include Containers, Trays, Plates, Bowls, Cutlery, Tableware, Salad and Sandwich Packaging, Portion Pots, and Drink Cups etc. These could be used in a variety of situations including Food to Go, Barbecues, Deli Counters, and Al-Fresco Dining. We are always looking for innovative items to add to our stock line. Recent times have seen an increase in products made from moulded fibre and starch, due to environmental concerns. A bespoke service is also available for all your print and packaging needs. Kavis has recently become the master distributor in the UK for the EcofuelXB range of chafing fuel and equipment. EcofuelXB is the alternative cooking and warming source for the 21st century. Standard chafing fuels are normally considered flammable and hazardous. However the EcofuelXB is made up of Glycol and special fibres. This gives it many properties such as being non-flammable, easy to extinguish / relight, low carbon emissions, long and consistent burn times, and also an unlimited shelf life. It is the only fuel to be endorsed by the American Culinary Federation and has been approved by many professionals across the Foodservice industry. EcofuelXB is available in two sizes and equipment includes cook stoves, ovens, fold-flat and disposable chafers. Kavis is also a distributor for Technical Concept's range of innovative Washroom Solutions, including air care, sanitisation and soap units. The NEUTRALLE Automatic Odour Control system deals effectively with offensive and persistent smells. Top-quality fragrance refills incorporating proprietary odour eliminator technology combine with digital dispensers to provide round-the-clock air freshening that reinforces a clean, fresh environment. According to research carried out by the Brewers Society, at least 87% of people will judge a food service outlet (be it a fast food outlet or restaurant) by the state of its washrooms. They not only need to look clean but also SMELL clean. Clean fresh-smelling washrooms give a clear message that customers' comfort and safety is a priority - a message that translates from the washroom and into the bar, kitchen and food service areas. Also the first thing that many customers notice when they walk into your public washrooms or serving area is whether or not there is a fresh, pleasant smell. Kavis services a wide range of firms within the catering industry, from restaurant and takeaways, to outdoor and contract caterers. From our facility in Wembley, we have great access to businesses in London and the surrounding counties. Deliveries are made by our fleet of vehicles within the M25 on a weekly basis. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any requirements that you may have.
