Here at The Apiary, we are missing our customers a great deal. We miss the buzz when service is in full swing; the noise of customers chatting and laughing as they eat their lunch with their friends and colleagues, the hustle and bustle in the kitchen to get delicious food out and that satisfied feeling when the last happy customer heads out of the restaurant and you know you have worked your socks off.

But! The thing we miss the most at The Apiary is our Themed Events, we’re sure our customers miss them too.

A buffet style service, tightly packed queues and customers squeezed onto tables all still look like they are a long way from being a reality again; so, we decided to look at options to recreate this experience for our customers AT HOME.

Try our chilli nachos, it’s all about local ingredients for us! We served up these bad boys with beef from Burtons Butchers and cheese from Cheese Plus. It’s the quality of ingredients that inspires our chefs to turn the simple in to the sublime.

We strongly believe that investing in our people not only improves employee’s morale and wellbeing but also pays high dividends when it comes to delivering a truly valued service to our clients. That’s why we are ranked 39 on The Sunday Times Top 100 best companies to work for 2020. Being a Best Company goWe strongly believe that investing in our people not only improves employee’s morale and wellbeing but also pays high dividends when it comes to delivering a truly valued service to our clients. That’s why we are ranked 39 on The Sunday Times Top 100 best companies to work for 2020. Being a Best Company goes beyond the bottom line. It’s about excelling in every area throughout the workplace and an organisation’s commitment to its most important assets - its workforce.

As an independently owned company, the health and well-being of our TNS family – Clients, customers, and employees - is our highest priority. This is personal on a number of levels, and therefore we wanted to reach out to express to you that we are vigilantly monitoring the ever-changing landscape of COVID-19.

We're open for business and will continue where possible to provide an agile work environment for our employees, creating the safest work spaces that we can, and offering the flexibility they need should they require it.

At last, our wonderful students have returned to Elms Bank Art College & St Monica’s College Hub and it is great to have them all back.

John and the team were initially busy during the lockdown, delivering food parcels once a week in their own time to 80 students covering a total of 120 miles a day and a lot of hours in the Manchester rain!

John, our catering manager, spoke to local businesses for support and the response was excellent. McDonalds donated colouring pads and crayons for the entire school and a local computer retailer donated 3 laptops for students to home study which was gratefully received by Elms Bank.

During lockdown, an ex-pupil of the school’s work experience in a local business sadly ended prematurely due to the pandemic, so Corey returned to school to work with the TNS team.
