You’re probably thinking that’s<br />
an awful lot of documentation to<br />
track. Well, you’re right but the<br />
good news is that NCASS provides<br />
its members with pretty much all<br />
of the essentials.<br />
The easy way to source safe<br />
traders<br />
Every single NCASS caterer agrees<br />
to work to best practice. Each<br />
trader has access to the most<br />
respected and triple-accredited<br />
online training courses for<br />
mobile caterers in the country.<br />
Furthermore, they have the<br />
backing of a due diligence system<br />
that’s been labelled as ‘assured<br />
advice and guidance’ by a district<br />
council.<br />
So, due to the NCASS primary<br />
authority partnership, when you<br />
choose an NCASS caterer to trade<br />
at your event you’ll have peace of<br />
mind knowing that you are covered<br />
and protected, and you’ll have<br />
added weight when it comes to<br />
bidding for events with your local<br />
authority. Having “all traders will<br />
be protected under the NCASS<br />
primary authority partnership with<br />
Cherwell District Council” on your<br />
application will go a long way.<br />
Aside from safe traders,<br />
what does NCASS offer event<br />
organisers?<br />
Every day NCASS helps event<br />
organisers manage the catering<br />
for their events by matching them<br />
with local caterers who meet<br />
their food requirements via a free<br />
SMS service called WorkOpps.<br />
Here’s how it works: you tell the<br />
Association a little about your<br />
event and choose the food you<br />
want sold on the day. NCASS texts<br />
those details to traders who fit the<br />
mould. The traders then contact<br />
you, by whatever means you have<br />
specified, and you take it from<br />
there with the peace of mind that<br />
the caterers at your event will be<br />
NCASS registered.<br />
Darren Price used WorkOpps<br />
and commented: “Your service<br />
is spot on. I’ll always use you<br />
and recommend WorkOpps to<br />
everyone.” Emma Barton said:<br />
“Thank you so much for your ‘find<br />
a caterer’ service. The form was<br />
easy to complete and we received<br />
many responses, very quickly.<br />
