London 2012 and the True Test of Outside Catering in London

Sat, 17 Sep 2011 07:16:04 -0400

There is no doubt that London 2012 is 'the big one' as far as corporate hospitality and corporate catering is concerned. It is the biggest sporting event the country has ever seen, right here on our shores, and featuring the world's best businesses (and their multimillion pound investment), as well as the best athletes from around the globe too. It's not just those big sponsors and Olympic partners that need corporate catering solutions, but the world's dignitaries, the most important clients - and consumers - alike. The attention of the world as a whole will be on London for that period, like never before. Outside catering is a crucial part of the Olympic hospitality offer. Whilst tickets to the 100m final or the beach volleyball final are sold and pretty much distributed already, the entertainment available to those people watching each event, and the corporate catering packages they receive before, during and after each race or match, are all very much work in progress. **End Summary** Topics: corporate hospitality]]> Caterers]]> Outside Caterers]]> gourmet c]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Sara Allom looks at the challenges the 2012 Olympics bring to the UK's corporate hospitality , outside caterers and outside Catering companies.

Corporate Catering in The Events Industry & Why it Matters

Sat, 17 Sep 2011 07:15:09 -0400

It wasn't that long ago that corporate catering as an industry didn't really exist - perhaps the key players in a company would dine out in their members club or local restaurant once a month or more. Or possibly their wives would be responsible for entertaining the bosses and clients at their dining tables at home - How things have changed! The birth of corporate events catering really started in the 1980s with a growth in office and boardroom catering. Caterers were used to create delicious lunches and dinners and serve them in house to a company's big clients and board directors. Most often, these caterers excelled in buffets, perhaps big bowls of salads and cold meats, and lots of fabulous puddings. But corporate parties, hadn't yet really evolved as a big events spend. In the 1990s though, corporate entertainment and events took on a whole new meaning. As the big spending banks and IT companies latched on to the fact that keeping their clients happy kept their bottom lines looking good, they started to find more cash in their budgets to facilitate this kind of corporate event, and so the corporate events teams of today were born! **End Summary** Topics: Catering Services]]> corporate Catering]]> corporate events]]> Cor]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Sara Allom examines the history of corporate events catering and looks at why the Catering services provided by catering companies are now crucial to businesses success.

Sat, 17 Sep 2011 07:14:03 -0400

Catering is a very loose term these days – one which can encompass the most diverse range of food and beverage offerings.

Catering consultants too have their work cut out for them. They are tasked with finding the right catering solutions for their clients, in the right spaces and at the right times.

The world of 'catering' is now a very far cry from simple sandwiches for office staff, or an occasional Directors lunch. There are literally hundreds of thousands of catering companies throughout the UK. Some are small businesses providing mobile catering solutions, perhaps for small public events like fetes or open days. Others are multi million pound companies who specialise in catering for the country's most high profile parties and occasions. And catering isn't just about food any more either. In fact plenty of today's catering companies also provide drink, decoration and even entertainment as part of their product. More party planners than simple caterers, companies like Create or "rhubarb", also have fingers in the retail pie too – running restaurants and bars as well as event catering arms.
