Start-up caterer-cum-retailer Gold & Brown has started the year with reason for cheer (sorry), netting new business worth more than £1.5m.
Having revealed the inspiration for the company name to Kitchen Rat in November, the caterer is to launch at three new sites in 2009, taking its locations to a grand total of five since being established by Simon Elliot and Andrea Walwyn in April 2008. Not bad going given all the doom and gloom abound at the moment.
Gold & Brown is being somewhat coy about where the new sites are but did reveal that one of them is at an arts centre in the North-east, the 2nd is at a Horticultural venue on the south side of Harrogate (!) and the 3rd is a business and industry site in Rutland.
Taking on these new sites and the company's exisiting oulets at The Academy Health Club and Spa in Harrogate and Holden Wood in Lancashire is Helen Tesseyman.
Tesseyman joins as executive business manager from the Michelin-starred Devonshire Arms hotel at Bolton Abbey, North Yorkshire.
