Q3 2019

30 | Q3 2019 Jul19211 Yasin Catering Ltd can be considered the event caterers of choice for clients across the Yorkshire, North England, Scotland and Wales. Following the company’s success in the 2019 UK Enterprise Awards – where they were named ‘Most Authentic Asian Wedding Catering Specialists’ – we spoke with Owner, Mohammed Yasin to find out more. Outstanding Event Catering From Yasin Catering As a true family-run business, Yasin Catering has seen success through a customer-service focused approach to event catering. Not content with simply excelling in the market, they look to go above and beyond, making every step of the process seamless, easy and stress-free – as their numerous flawless client testimonials will attest to. “We specialise in Pakistani and Indian cuisine and cater for all sorts of events including weddings, parties, funerals and corporate meetings. Ultimately, if you need food for an event, we can cater for it – whether that is for ten guests, or thousands at a time,” Mohammed begins. Though they cater for a large variety of events, it is in the weddings sphere that Yasin Catering has forged their impressive reputation. On this most special of occasions, they have differentiated themselves through a stringent dedication to perfection – no small feat on a day that aims for nothing less. Mohammed takes a moment to discuss this in more detail: “Out main speciality is weddings. We’re happy to cater at outside venues all over the UK – no matter the distance, depending on the number of guests. Following our success in this market, we have recently opened out own venue, called Yasin Banqueting Suite, at our customer’s request. Ultimately, they wanted a place where they could get the ‘whole wedding package’. We were more than happy to challenge ourselves in this way.” Unlike their peers and competitors, Yasin Catering is proud to work all year around – “non-stop”, Mohammed adds. “As we’ve been in business for a long time, we often see customers from decades ago require food for their children and, sometimes, their grand-children!” This speaks volumes about the company’s success, with many of Yasin Catering’s new clients arriving through positive word of mouth. “80% of our clients come to us through word of mouth, with charity events and radio advertising making up the rest.” Whilst Mohammed plays a large role in this success, he is quick to attribute recognition to his supporting team. “Our staff dedicate their time and efforts to making sure the company delivers an exceptional service. We are all like one big happy – and busy! - family. The staff treat the business as it is their own, therefore they put their very best into every day which are very grateful for. That’s not mentioning the role that our family plays in the success of the company, with the children and wives pitching in to help make this a true ‘all round family business”. Despite this, success hasn’t always come easy for Yasin Catering as they look to distinguish themselves in a notoriously competitive arena. “Many new caterers have opened in and around the area, but we are confident that our work speaks for itself. Though customers might try these new outlets, they always are drawn back to Yasin Catering due to the quality of our services and food.” When it comes to the future, Mohammed offers more insight into Yasin Catering’s immediate plans. “We would like to promote our venue and increase the popularity of our area. Bring Beeston Leeds on the ‘map’. Lastly, in his closing comments, Mohammed thanks his customers and staff. “We would like to thank the customers and workers for the support that they constantly give us throughout our 27 years of starting the business and we would like to ensure them that this “Family” is committed to give their best to all. Thanks to all that give us all the support we need without them we would never be successful.” Company: Yasin Catering Ltd / Yasin Banqueting Suite Ltd Name: Mr Mohammed Yasin Address: 30 Maud Avenue, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS11 7DN, United Kingdom Website: www.YasinCateringLeeds.co.uk Telephone: 01132773708 / 07957243070
