London Zoo appoint Charlton House Catering
Charlton House has been awarded a catering contract with the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) to manage its conference and banqueting operations at London Zoo in Regent's Park. The independent caterers will take over from the incumbents on 1st January 2007, while public catering is to be managed in-house.The contract is valued at £1 million in annual turnover, and the company will cater for high profile hospitality events, conferences, themed functions, parties, weddings and other events.
Tim Jones, co-founder and chairman of Charlton House, co-sponsors of the Development Chef Award at the 2007 CIS Excellence Awards, said: 'London Zoo is a unique location for corporate and private events, and I believe that we can raise food standards to make it an exceptional hospitality destination.
'We demonstrated a tailored approach and focused on our potential client's needs. They were impressed with our current business; our emphasis on fresh, quality food, and our open and honest approach to finances and financial reporting.'
The Zoological Society of London is a registered charity devoted to the worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats. It is entirely self-funded, and the hospitality and entertainment functions at London Zoo generate a significant percentage of the charity's income.
