colab has had a long and successful relationship with Burns & Ferrall’s sister company in Australia, Reward Hospitality. “Through our partnership with Reward and the recent purchase of Burns & Ferrall into the E.CF group, it made sense to expand into the Kiwi market with their exclusive chemical range CTR (Cleantec Through Reward),” explained Tui Moutira, distributor sales development manager, Institutional, Ecolab NZ. “A chemical offering aligns strongly to Burns & Ferrall’s direction to be a one stop shop for their customers.” Ecolab helps its customers in the hospitality industry guarantee guest and employee safety and satisfaction, as well as protect and enhance their brands. Around the world, customers in the food and hospitality sectors choose comprehensive Ecolab solutions to advance food safety, maintain clean and safe environments, operate efficiently, and achieve sustainability goals. “Our products and programs cover all areas of an operation and represent the industry’s most broad and complete set of premium customer solutions,” continued Tui Moutira. “We have products and solutions that cover front of house, back of house, kitchen cleaning and floorcare, warewashing for the cleanest
plates, cutlery and glassware. We also provide a range of Housekeeping and On-Premise Laundry Solutions – with Burns & Ferrall, we really do have your cleaning and sanitation covered.” “We have the biggest nationwide team of sales-and-service experts that deliver personalised service and offer a comprehensive range of solutions and data-driven insights to help customers run clean, safe, efficient, and sustainable operations.” The addition of Ecolab to Burns & Ferrall’s offering will ensure that a full range of hospitality business needs are met. Businesses are always looking for ways to run more efficiently and consolidating their supply through one supplier reduces costs, saves time and money. Tui Moutira also noted that Burns & Ferrall have a long history of strong relationships within the hospitality sector, leveraging their positioning and brand as a market leader in the hospitality space. With sustainability currently at the forefront of every business, Ecolab is the perfect fit for environmentally conscious brands. In 2021 it was ranked third in the Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable Companies. Ecolab was also named on the CDP Water Security list for Sustainable Water Management, ranked number 32 on Corporate Knights World’s Most Sustainable Corporations list, and named on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. In 2019 alone, Ecolab helped its
customers conserve 206 billion gallons of water (the equivalent to the annual drinking water needs of 712 million people), save 28 trillion BTUs of energy, reduce 113 million pounds of waste, and eliminate 1.5 million metric tonnes of CO2, the same amount absorbed by seven million trees annually. “Burns & Ferrall are very proud to be partnering with Ecolab for our full chemical offer from our home brands Alpha, CTR through to the complete Ecolab package,” commented director of Burns & Ferrall, Tony Broome. “We pride ourselves on being able to represent the world’s leading hospitality brands and the partnership with Ecolab continues to support our strategy to be ‘The Innovative Heart of Hospitality’. We are so
excited to be able to add value to our customers with solutions for all customers from cafés and restaurant to hotels and aged care.” Ecolab is set to establish the CTR range in New Zealand as a solution that adds value and operating efficiencies to businesses with plans to expand into the South Island (as well as further expansion into the Regions) heading into 2022. Ecolab described their relationship with Burns & Ferrall as a strong alignment and partnership. “We are really excited with the results so far and the positive customer testimonials and feedback in terms of the value that they see within the offer,” concluded Moutira. “Plus, there are a lot more opportunities to grow and enjoy.” For more information, visit www.burnsferrall.co.nz
