Awarded Commercial Kitchen Excellence by Retigo

We are proud to share that Dawnvale has been recognised with an award for Outstanding Project Using Retigo Combi Ovens, celebrating our work alongside Hickory’s Smokehouse.

The award acknowledges the quality, consistency and attention to detail that underpin every Dawnvale kitchen project. It is particularly rewarding to see our long-standing partnership with Hickory’s highlighted, reflecting the collaborative approach that has enabled the brand’s continued growth across the UK.

Hickory’s Smokehouse remains one of our most valued clients and a benchmark operator within the sector. In 2025 alone, we have delivered twelve new and refurbished Hickory’s kitchens nationwide, supporting an ambitious expansion programme that has seen new openings and upgrades completed at an exceptional pace. Each site is designed to meet the demands of high-volume service while maintaining the authenticity and operational efficiency that defines the Hickory’s experience.

Retigo combi ovens play a key role within these kitchens, providing reliability, flexibility and consistency across multiple sites. Their performance is crucial in supporting Hickory’s operational standards, and this award reflects how effectively the equipment has been integrated into a wider, carefully considered kitchen design.

Although we were unable to attend the presentation two weeks ago due to several live projects, fittingly including another Hickory’s site, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the team at Retigo for the recognition and their continued support. Awards such as this reinforce the strength of our partnerships and our shared commitment to delivering best-in-class commercial kitchens.
