About: Samuel Panda

An inspiring short motivational message from ‘The Special One’ #josemourinho was shared with the grassroots football team, Long Lane JFC Lions that Platebox continues to sponsor.

The team recently won the SE London Kent Youth league cup, an amazing achievement for the young players.

We look forward to sponsoring the Long Lane JFC next season and supporting young children through our food delivery services that we provide to schools and public sector caterers across the country.

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.”
