Hospitality and catering firm Caviar & Chips has experienced its busiest summer of weddings and events.
The company, founded in Sutton Coldfield, Caviar & Chips comprises a catering firm, a 16th century pub in Warwickshire and a newly-launched stately home wedding venue in Shropshire.
Despite the impact of Covid-19 track and trace, lockdown measures and significantly reduced hospitality market of new recruits, the company has delivered more events in the last three months than in its first three years.
Established in 2017 by co-founders Jonathan Carter-Morris and Marc Hornby, Caviar & Chips started out as caterers delivering wedding menus for their clients.
In their first year the duo delivered six events while they were studying for their MBAs at Aston Business School and holding down full-time jobs.
In their second year, Caviar & Chips grew to 20 events and recruited its first two full-time employees.
Then in year three, Jonathan and Marc quit their jobs and expanded the business, delivering 60 events across the UK.
Adding a 16th century pub, The Virgins & Castle in Kenilworth, to their portfolio in March 2020 they had grown to a team of 40 before lockdown stopped them in their tracks.
With more than 120 weddings and events to deliver the firm helped every one of its clients rearrange dates for 2021 or 2022.
Jonathan Carter-Morris (pictured), co-founder and CEO, said: “In Caviar & Chips, we wanted to create a great place to work and we place a great emphasis on wellbeing, training and development.
“We’re in the business of creating special moments and memories for our clients and our sector offers some fantastic opportunities for people to enjoy working for a company that has a genuine positive purpose.”
