Q: How have Corinthia Caterers evolved in recent years to remain a leader in such a competitive, fast-paced market?
A: We’ve stayed true to our roots consistently delivering a premium, quality-driven service. The market is constantly shifting, and what’s in demand today may not be tomorrow.
That’s why we’ve adopted a proactive approach by keeping our offering fresh, timely, and innovative.
While event and airline catering remain at the core of our operations, we’ve expanded significantly. Today, we also manage contract catering, oversee hotel food and beverage operations, and run a stand-alone restaurant, among others.
This diversification allows us to stay resilient and ahead of market demands.
Q: You’ve spoken about the need to work smarter while maintaining exceptional service. What recent innovations have helped you strike that balance?
A: We’ve revitalised Corinthia Caterers in both mindset and culture. It’s been a combination of decisions, investments, and internal shifts that have driven progress.
There’s no single solution. It’s the result of ongoing efforts across logistics, planning, and kitchen operations. While finding the perfect balance is always a challenge, we firmly believe we’re on the right path.
Q: What advice would you give young people entering the hospitality industry today?
A: Hospitality has changed significantly, and attracting Generation Z has become increasingly difficult, especially with other industries like iGaming and tech offering appealing alternatives. But for those with a natural inclination to serve, this profession is incredibly rewarding.
Having spent 28 years in this industry, I can say it has given me so much – opportunities, personal growth, discipline, and a sense of purpose. Hospitality must come from within. It should feel natural. If you genuinely enjoy it, then you’re in for a fulfilling journey. It’s not for everyone.
But if it’s for you, and you’re ready to work hard, you’re already halfway there.
Q: How are Corinthia Caterers integrating sustainability, tradition, and innovation? What trends are shaping your direction?
A: Sustainability is deeply embedded across the Corinthia Group. At Corinthia Caterers, we’ve introduced multiple initiatives that reflect this commitment.
Today’s market is all about creating memorable experiences. While scaling personalised service can be challenging, we offer our partners, clients and customers the peace of mind through our team’s expertise, from planning stages through to service execution.
Quality and excellence remain our core principles.
