Iconic London Sports Venue Chooses HOBART Service for New Equipment Installation

HOBART Dishwashers Complete Kitchen Refurbishment at The Kia Oval

The Kia Oval, home to Surrey County Cricket Club and England Cricket, is an iconic venue with a capacity of 23,500 and catering capabilities for up to 500 guests in suites and executive boxes. Renowned for serving high-quality food at world-class events, the venue required a robust, efficient warewashing solution to handle its high volume and demanding schedule.

HOBART UK provided The Kia Oval with a complete solution, managing everything from design to installation and staff training. HOBART Service’s factory-trained team installed multiple warewash machines, including a PREMAX RACK with Conveyor, TWIN HOOD, and Glass Washer, ensuring the equipment met the manufacturer’s stringent standards for optimal performance and longevity.

Why The Kia Oval Chose HOBART Service for Installation and Maintenance:

Proper installation by the manufacturer is critical, especially with complex, large-scale dishwashers. HOBART’s equipment isn’t ‘plug and play’; it requires skilled expertise to meet specific installation requirements, which are essential for maximising performance, reducing downtime, and prolonging equipment life. By entrusting installation to HOBART’s in-house team, venues like The Kia Oval gain equipment installed to precise factory standards, enhancing reliability and efficiency.

Mark Whitmarsh, Technical Operations Manager at HOBART UK, explains: 

“When equipment is installed by our trained technicians, we consistently see improved reliability and operational efficiency. Failing to meet manufacturer installation requirements can lead to prolonged downtime and delays, disrupting the entire operation.”

The Importance of Ongoing Maintenance and OEM Parts

To maintain peak performance, it’s essential that HOBART equipment continues to be serviced by the manufacturer. With ongoing maintenance and access to Original Equipment Manufactured (OEM) parts, HOBART Service ensures equipment operates at maximum efficiency, extending its lifespan and minimising costly disruptions. OEM parts are specifically designed for HOBART machines, guaranteeing an exact fit and higher durability than generic parts, keeping the equipment running as intended.

Mark adds, “Our factory-trained technicians understand the unique complexities of HOBART equipment, which is why regular servicing by our team is key to preventing breakdowns and maintaining performance. When customers commit to using genuine parts and qualified technicians, they’re securing the long-term reliability of their machines.”

With HOBART Service’s end-to-end expertise, The Kia Oval has an advanced warewashing setup capable of supporting seamless service throughout their busiest events, reinforcing their commitment to high-quality food and hospitality.
