BPI is celebrating a double business milestone with Whitbread PLC; achieving a mutually beneficial eight-year partnership and a six- figure asset sale value with this leading hospitality business.
It comes at a time when BPI has secured a record amount of asset auctions in the hospitality sector as more businesses see it as a way of meeting their circular economy principles.
For the past eight years, BPI has worked in close partnership with Whitbread PLC, the parent company to Premier Inn, supporting the company’s commitment to sustainability by managing the resale and repurposing of its previously used catering equipment.
As one of the UK’s leading hospitality companies, Whitbread, home to brands like Premier Inn, has taken a keen interest in environmentally responsible solutions when upgrading its assets.
By partnering with BPI, Whitbread’s catering equipment has been given a second life, rather than contributing to landfill waste. Through its specialised auction services, BPI has facilitated the resale of Whitbread’s surplus assets, helping a new wave of business owners, including takeaway operators and independent restaurateurs acquire high-quality equipment at an affordable price.
Supporting sustainability through smart asset disposal
This sustainable approach not only reduces environmental impact but also aligns with Whitbread’s sustainability strategy, Force for Good. Working with BPI, Whitbread has found an efficient and sustainable solution to asset disposal, minimising its waste, fuelling the circular economy and achieving maximum returns.
Dave Cummings, Business Development Manager at BPI highlights the success of this partnership: “Working with Whitbread PLC has been a fantastic example of how businesses can integrate sustainability into its asset management. By choosing to recycle and repurpose its assets, Whitbread has prevented unnecessary waste while also supporting new business owners. Our auctions provide a platform for quality equipment to continue its lifecycle, making a real impact on the circular economy.”
Nationwide service for a nationwide brand
BPI operates across the UK to manage Whitbread’s asset sales, ensuring seamless logistics and hassle-free handling of their equipment from collection to resale. Whether it’s upgrading their kitchen equipment or relocating site, Whitbread benefits from BPI’s ability to generate maximum return on investment while upholding their green commitments.
Through this long-standing partnership, BPI and Whitbread PLC continue to set an example in the hospitality sector—proving that business efficiency and sustainability can go hand in hand.
