“Many things influenced our decision to buy Evolution. First of all, we werelooking for tableware that was of a high quality, durable, functional;
something that looked good but without being pretentious.
We also wanted tableware that would be appropriate both for the setting andthe kitchen: understated yet chic, simple but elegant, traditional
but with a modern edge, luxurious yet refined.
And finally, we wanted tableware that reflected our values:engaging, different, innovative and bold, something daring ...
So naturally, we chose Evolution.”
Jean Pierre DureuilGroup Executive Chef, Galeries Lafayette, Paris
“Green technologies provide industry with a fantastic opportunity to introduceworld-beating products that protect and preserve the planet’s natural resources.By using Endeka’s unique energy efficient ThermECO technology, Dudson hasembraced this opportunity with the innovative and stylish Evolution.”
Stuart AdamsManaging Director, Endeka Ceramics Ltd., Stoke-on-Trent, England
“We chose to use Dudson Evolution at The Devonshire Arms at Pilsley because of thestyle and quality of the product. As a traditional country pub with rooms, the hand-made appearance of the Evolution range fits perfectly with the inn’s unique character.The lifetime edge chip warranty is a practical benefit which is perfect for a busy pub.
As a group, Devonshire Hotels and Restaurants is heavily focused on operating as anenvironmentally friendly company, and we were delighted that Dudson shares thesevalues and has helped to minimise our impact on the environment.”
Alan HillChef Patron for The Devonshire Arms at Beeley and the Devonshire Arms at Pilsley, England
Once-firedtechnologyWorking closely with Endeka Ceramics, Dudson hasdeveloped a new ceramic body that only requires onefiring process, compared to the usual two or more in theproduction of ceramic hospitality tableware. This changein the manufacturing process significantly reduces theimpact of production on the environment.
Our greenestproduct yetThe amount of carbon produced in the manufactureof Evolution is 79%* less than that produced in themanufacture of an equivalent porcelain product.*Independent research carried out by Endeka Ceramics Ltd.
Now used on all Dudson products,ThermECO is one of the most durableand energy efficient glazes in themarket today, enabling firing at a lowertemperature for reduced energy use.*ThermECO is a trademark of Endeka Ceramics Ltd.
Lifetime edgechip warrantyAll flatware and plate edges that have areinforced ‘rolled edge’ to increase chip
resistance, carry a lifetime warranty againstchipping (conditions apply).
Better for theenvironmentAs with all Dudson ceramics, anyunfired pieces that are broken orimperfect can be 100% recycledinto manufacturing processes.
Strengthand durabilityEvolution is just as strong as other Dudson ceramicproducts, renowned for their durability and chipresistance. The undeniable strength of these productsresults in lower replacement rates, meaning less useof resources and lower transport costs.
“It’s not just the origins of our food and the impact onthe environment that we are passionate about.
What excites us about Evolution is the fact that, likeour menus, ingredients are sourced locally wheneverpossible, supporting the community and keepingcarbon production to a minimum.”
