There are plum City contracts for contract caterers and then there are the likes of investment bank Goldman Sachs, run by Compass Group.
Goldman Sachs is one of the world’s oldest investment banks and was founded in 1869 long before the expression credit crunch came into vogue.
However Kitchen Rat hears the re-tendering exercise currently being conducted at the firm isn’t going as smoothly as perhaps envisioned.
Operated under Compass Group’s Restaurant Associates fine-dining brand, duties include staff and executive feeding, hospitality and management of the conference and training facilities at the company’s multiple London sites, which house more than 5,000 staff.
Estimates put the value of the catering deal at £7m to a whopping £10m in turnover a year.
Although Goldman Sachs placed at number three in the large companies category of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work For list this year, it has nevertheless said farewell to one of its employees.
Although a spokeswoman for the financial colossus said she couldn’t comment, Kitchen Rat hears Jane Sanderson Goldman Sachs’s catering contract manager has been shown the door for reasons unknown.
Not ideal in the middle of a major re-tendering exercise you’ll agree.
