Ops Team
Made up of talented and experienced Account Managers, the Operations Team support their kitchens in the day to day delivery of our catering provision and support our client’s in achieving a catering service to be proud of.
The term multi-tasking really doesn’t do our Operations Team justice; whether they are interviewing for a new cook, driving round the county to appointments, cooking in a kitchen themselves, running cookery workshops, attending events to talk about our service or client meetings to find ways to improve our service – they are always on the go and always have a smile on their face!
Support Team
None of what we do is possible without the professionalism and know-how of our Support Team. Made up of super-organised Administrators, eagle-eyed Accountants and determined Procurement and Health & Safety experts, our support team are always at the end of the phone. They are empowered and able to respond to all types of queries from our Kitchen Staff, Operations Team and current, as well as prospective, customers. Support Team, we salute you!
Kitchen Team
Our amazing kitchen teams are the reason why we have so many happy customers! Their passion and talent for serving great food is what makes us deeply proud of our business.
In achieving happy customers, our main priority is to support our great cooks and catering assistants; support in terms of training and development opportunities from our award-winning Training Academy, support through our Cook’s Cluster Meetings and annual Roadshows and support through regular visits and written updates from our Head of Catering Operations.
To us our kitchen teams are more than just great cooks, they are superheroes!
