Service & Installation

CDS currently provides 3 types of service to the UK dispense sector.

Dedicated Teams - As a part of our partnership approach we have 2 teams of technicians working exclusively for individual brewers and
carrying out installations, planned preventative maintenance visits, quality checks, audits and service calls on their behalf. The teams work
in brewery liveried vans and wear branded uniforms. Current dedicated models operate for both Budweiser and Heineken.

Single Service Provision (SSP) - Working directly for the "PubCo" we are able to substantially improve service levels whilst simultaneously
reducing costs. This model also gives the customer total freedom of choice with regard to the choice of equipment both behind the bar and
in the cellar, removing the previous constraints of the brewer funded model. This has come about since the “unbundling” of the price of a
barrel of beer, which enables the purchaser to see how much of that price was set aside for the provision of technical services, with a view
to sourcing both service and equipment elsewhere. We are able to cover both beer and soft drinks meaning that installations previously
requiring as many as five engineers and their vans can now be completed by just two engineers and one van.

Generic Service and Installation Work - Our Generic team provides nationwide service and installation to both brewers and the free Trade.
We have a national footprint and all work is completed by our own fully trained engineers. At CDS we believe in having total control of our
workforce and not being reliant upon 3rd party sub-contractors. Our generic engineers are trained in beer/soft drinks and cellar gas
systems and operate 365 days per annum.
