Our Unbelievable Sales Team
At Kerston Foods we are very proud of our dedicated Sales team who always go the extra mile for our customers.
The department consists of a total of 5 members at present, 2 internal telesales consultants, 2 external representatives and one midnight oil burning machine, that deals without our active customer base of over 1000 customers.
They take care of all the queries, concerns, placement of orders and even some motivational sessions when needed. This is truly a remarkable team! So, let’s not talk about Denver Ramsay… but rather write a bit about this valuable member of the team.
Meet Denver Ramsay
Denver Ramsay has been with us for the past 17 years and has served on our team and built personal relationships with some of our longest standing customers.
He is a one-of-a-kind type of person with quite a unique sense of humour. His colleagues describe him as loyal, reliable, and dedicated. His work ethic is unmatched.
We love having Denver around as part of our team and know a lot of our customers agree!
On Top® with Cream
This is a unique product and a first in the industry, to be offering a ready to use whipped dairy blend topping in a pipping bag. On Top With Cream is a blend of dairy and non-dairy ingredients to create a stable product that has the tastes and colour of real cream.
It is an easy and convenient way to finish off desserts, milkshakes, cakes, and many other catering delights. This all pre-whipped in an easy-to-use pipping bag.
On Top With Cream has superior hot and cold stability allowing it to be uses in a host of culinary applications. It is very easy to use as the only prepping is to allow On Top to defrost then tear open the perforated end and attach your pipping nozzle, and you ready to go.
On Top With Cream is stored frozen at -18 and can be stored up to 12 months. Once defrosted, it must be keep refrigerated and used within 14 days but once opened it must be used within 5 days of opening.
It comes in a box with 4 pipping bags of 500g.

In The Limelight
It gives me great pleasure to recommend and refer Kerston Foods as a Foodservice Provider.
I have been using Kerston Foods for 13 years now. As a Head Chef and manager, service is of utmost importance to me, and this is where Kerston Foods excels.
They really go the extra mile for me, and also I don’t feel that Im just another client for them. They sometimes truly go out of their way to fulfil their promise of excellence.
Regarding their prices, they are well competitive to their competitors. I always get the best price.
We are always busy and upgrading at Babylonstoren. We have once again been voted Best Resort Hotel in Africa by Travel + Leisure’s readers.
We also received five gold awards for our tinned olives and New single-variety Coratina Olive Oil at the Aurora International Taste Challenge this year.
Happy Spending at Kerston Foods!

A New Online Experience for Kerston Foods
Before we end off, we wanted to talk a little bit about the new Kerston Foods website, why we decided to update it, and what you can expect from it going forward.
Firstly, as the world evolves and everyone becomes evermore dependant on technology, we decided it was time to give our website some much needed TLC. The goal was to create a platform to help attract new clients, of course, but more so to give our existing clients and community a way to stay up-to-date with promotions, business operations, social initiatives, new products and general industry news.
So, we really encourage you to stick around for a moment or two after reading this newsletter, and explore our new website. Head over to The Kitchen to find more news, Catalogues and Recipes, or head over to the Promotions page to see some our past promotions and any currently active ones.
We hope you find the new website easier to use, more informative, and overall, just a better experience. If you have any feedback, good or bad, please do let us know!
