Business is blooming for Sodexho Prestige
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has awarded Sodexho Prestige the contracts to supply the public catering, hospitality sales and catering at the Chelsea, Tatton and Hampton Court Palace Flowers Shows. The estimated combined turnover for the three events is £3.3 million per year.
Sodexho Prestige has provided the catering and hospitality services at Chelsea Flower Show for over 20 years and for Tatton since it began in 1999.
Sodexho Prestige will employ around 800 staff per day at Chelsea, 500 at Hampton and 180 at Tatton of which the majority will be temporary staff for the event only.
Sue Creed, events director for Sodexho Prestige, said “We are delighted to have been re-awarded the contracts for Chelsea and Tatton, where we have built up years of experience, and to have gained the contract for the Hampton Court show. We believe that this extensive experience and our strong relationship with the RHS will enable us to provide an excellent service at all three shows.”
Eddie Farrell, head of commercial operations for the RHS, said “My colleagues and I are excited about the opportunities resulting from the decision to award Sodexho Prestige the contract and we look forward to strengthening the already highly effective working relationship that has been built up over many years between Sodexho Prestige and the RHS.”
The Chelsea Flower Show, Hampton Court Palace Flower Show and RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park will take place on 22-26 May, 3-8 July and 18-22 July respectively.
