Michael Georgiou, Chief Operating Officer, Wilton Patisserie
It all started about 16 years ago, when we had the dream to bring the taste of Cyprus to London.
Here at Wilton Patisserie, everything is made fresh daily.
Good morning. Good morning.
We’re here at the crack of dawn, firing up the ovens, cooking the savouries, mixing the cakes, and getting everything out fresh.
One of the best parts about owning a business is watching your brand grow year on year.
As the company grew, we were getting more and more customers. The orders were stacking, and unfortunately the old payment system that we were using just couldn’t deal with the demands of the business anymore.
I had to be in the office reconciling accounts. We were having problems, and so it was keeping me away from what was really important, which was keeping our customers happy.
We got in contact with Lloyds when we were looking to open up a new business account. At that time, the idea of expansion was definitely on the cards for us. We’d already sourced the second store.
Tina from Lloyds was great. [Tina Baxter, Associate Director, Lloyds Merchant Services]
From the very beginning, she was very hands-on. She actually recommended us to go speak to the guys at NuEPOS and marry that up with the Castle Saturn card terminal, because the two integrate really well with the Lloyds system in the background, and that just suited our business perfectly.
Now that the business has grown and we’ve been able to update our EPOS system and our payment provider, it’s enabled us to have so much more time to look after the new store.
The days of sitting here and reconciling accounts are done with now. We can focus on the more important things, which is growing the brand, growing the business and by having Lloyds and the NuEPOS system and that integration, that’s just one step to help us to pursue that dream.
