After seeing a gap in the market for temporary staff in hospitality Brian and I set up up The Caterwaiter. The intention for this company was not only would it supply professional staff to Mange Tout Limited but it would also supply to our competitors. To do this we needed to put in a Managing Director who would be the face of the company and run it with us. We are delighted that this company has gone from strength to strength and underwent a management buyout in 2020.
