Geoffrey Bartlett - Managing Director

I commenced my working life as a Chef which gave me the insight and passion to deliver quality fresh food that has been well prepared and presented. Building on this fundamental philosophy I started my own event company in 1976.

With a career of over 30 years in corporate hospitality, I have worked for some remarkable clients on some extraordinary events. Your special event is not only of great pride to me but also a great responsibility - a responsibility that I never take lightly.

A measure of our success is the amount of repeat business we benefit from. This is because the level of our commitment is so high.
