Service on a Plate - The History of Contract Catering

0/5 ( ratings)

Contract catering serves every corner of the modern economy - from the sta¬ff restaurant to the boardroom dining room, from the local primary school to the largest NHS hospital, from infancy to old age. It feeds our armed forces in peacetime and in war, giving service 24 hours a day, every day, wherever it is needed. Service On A Plate tells the fascinating story of the people who created a £4bn industry that plays such a critical role in the social and economic life of the country. From the early pioneers of John Gardner, Jack Bateman and John Sutcli¬ffe, who forged personal empires, to the clashes of great companies as they fought for their independence, the story reveals an industry with a turbulent and highly successful past stretching back well over 100 years. Written by two authors who have an intimate knowledge of the subject, Service On A Plate is a lavishly illustrated and highly readable account of an industry driven by huge personalities with an all consuming entrepreneurial spirit which has led to the growth of global companies and the making of personal fortunes - and which continues to this day.
