Catering Services in the Run Up to London 2012 As a corporate company, choosing the very best catering services you can afford will, no doubt, enhance the product you provide for your clients tenfold. And, as the corporate entertainment and corporate catering market evolves, a company’s clients naturally expect more and more from every event they attend. In short, it pays to be on top of your corporate events offering.
Now too – with only approximately 365 days to go until the biggest sporting event the UK has ever seen - the corporate big hitters need their catering suppliers and corporate events teams to really step up their offering, both creatively and logistically. Corporate caterers are striving to be the most innovative, efficient, daring and cutting edge companies out there, as well as, of course, providing the most delicious food. London 2012 is a whole new world for the corporate catering industry, with a whole wealth of opportunity (and a whole host of headaches and competition too). Literally hundreds of thousands of the world’s big corporate hitters will be arriving in London next Summer, expecting the finest food, wine, service and overall catering concept they have ever experienced. Simple sandwiches during the lunchtime break won’t be sufficient on this occasion – clients will be looking for freshly prepared delicacies, stalls of hot and spicy world food, and chic five course banquets, with canapés and champagne, or cocktails, cockles and mussels in between! Some corporate caterers will be focusing on providing a quintessential British product – others sourcing the finest sushi grade fish or Italian antipasti. And the best corporate event caterers will of course deliver everything from one end of the spectrum to the other – a delicious freshly toasted sandwich for a clients’ driver and personal assistant? Not a problem. Stunning seafood ice bars in designer marquees constructed beside the Olympic stadium? Easily done. The finest vintage port, the most incredible caviars, the freshest oysters and the rarest cuts of Kobe beef? All possible if your corporate organisation can afford it! Those corporate event catering companies at the top of their game, such as Rocket, Alison Price and “rhubarb” – will also be making every corporate event during 2012 a really theatrical production, with the best glassesand china, the most professional uniformed and logo-ed staff, and of course the best lighting and entertainment money can buy too.
