“It has come to my notice that Lynn Shave is being nominated for a British Citizen’s Award and I would like to second that nomination wholeheartedly. MY sister has been receiving meals from Lynn’s company for several weeks and is pleased because they cater for her vegetarian tastes. My sister is 83 years old and not able to cope with much nowadays. As you will notice from the address I am writing from Nottingham and although I visit as often as possible it is a great comfort to me to know that, not only does Heather receive a hot, tasty meal each day but it is delivered in a cheery manner and served on a plate for her. When I am there I am quietly reassured that they would let me know if there was any cause for concern. I would therefore support the nomination whole-heatedly.”

“I was so pleased to hear that Lyn of Tiptree Meals had been put up for an award. No one deserves it more than this amazing, caring, hardworking lady who goes the extra mile to provide freshly cooked meals to the elderly in the surrounding towns and villages. My mother, Linda Wright, of Braintree, looked forward every day to her meals arriving. Despite the number of meals, the distance covered to deliver the meals, time was always spent with Mum for a quick chat and her meals served on a plate with her favourite drink poured out for her, so kind and thoughtful. Nothing was too much trouble whatever the weather or road continues Lyn, her team always arrived, what a truly amazing service. Thank you Lyn for playing a large part in my Mum being able to stay in her own home. Mum still lives at home but her health has deemed it necessary for her to have in care. If the carer prepares a meal she doesn’t like, she says “We need to phone Lyn and get Tiptree Meals to deliver again!!”

“I have had meals supplied to me from Tiptree Meals Ltd on a regular basis for a number of years seven days a week 364 days a year and have found their menu varied and enjoyable. I do love their Steak and Kidney Pie Jam Sponge most delicious and find the delivery staff most friendly and helpful. Also, I find it most helpful if I phone to speak to a real person, not a computer.”
