“UK’s leading independent food service management provider "
My Story: Throughout my 30 year career in the catering sector, I have been responsible for driving standards and growing highly profitable operations that deliver cutting edge services. As Chairman and Chief Executive, I lead a £275m privately owned venture and am responsible for delivering the overall strategy and ensuring the business remains focused on its commitment of excellence to clients, customers and staff. I began my independent business life when I started Wilson Storey with Keith Wilson in 2000. The aim was to create a business that would rapidly ascend to become the leader in its sector by building a catering operation fuelled by a passion for a delivering fresh food, excellent customer service and a truly outstanding career opportunity for my teams. After 3 years and a merger I achieved the original aim as WSH and became the UK’s leading independent food service management provider with a turnover of £75m.
Following further mergers we are now the fourth largest food service operator in the UK. Today, my vision is to create a food service management business that has the operational power and expertise of a multinational and the service commitment of an owner managed business that has come into fruition with BaxterStorey.
