Harrison strengthens B&I structure

Friday 10 September 2010

Harrison Catering Services have strengthened their operational structure with the promotion of Richard Smith to Senior Manager Client Services, Business and Industry. Reporting to Gareth Harrison, Director Client Services, Richard will take on management responsibility for all Harrison's Business and Industry clients, working closely with the company's existing Managers Client Services in this sector. In addition, Richard will provide additional support for New Business Development in this sector.

Richard has been responsible for the successful growth and development of Harrison's largest Business and Industry contract, the Carphone Warehouse/TalkTalk Group. From gaining the contract for catering at the Carphone Warehouse Group's main headquarters in Acton in October 2005, the business has gone from strength to strength and followed the growth and diversification of the host company: when Carphone Warehouse and TalkTalk demerged, Harrison retained the catering for both groups and now operate in 8 sites from London to Preston.

Geoffrey Harrison, founder and MD of Harrison Catering, said: "This structural change brings all Harrison's Business and Industry clients together, enabling best practice to be shared more effectively and to build on the growth Harrison have enjoyed in this part of their business."
