Kudos wins Honourable Artillery Company but loses MD

Crown Group's Kudos Hospitality has wrestled away the deal to run hospitality and banqueting services at the City's Honourable Artillery Company, Kitchen Rat has learnt.

Kudos takes over from longterm incumbent Chester Boyd from January.

Interestingly Kudos parent company Crown appointed a new commercial director in March, none other than David Morris who was managing director of Chester Boyd. Coincidence no doubt.

It's also been said that that Kudos managing director John Wright has left the company, although, alas, Kitchen Rat doubts the two caterers are doing the equvialent of a student exchange, which would be fun.

Anyone know John's whereabouts?
