CH&CO Find your room to grow with CH&CO
Why hospitality? Hospitality is such a dynamic industry to be a part of – it’s always changing and innovating and there’s rarely a slow day. There’s a broad and varied spectrum of roles on offer – more so than many other industries – so whatever level you’re at, there are plenty of opportunities to grow and achieve your goals.
What wows us in a potential employee? CH&CO is built on brilliant people and we’re always on the lookout for new talent! If you’re positive, brimming with energy and endlessly passionate about food and service, you’ll go far with us. We value people who come to work with a smile, support their teammates and really get stuck in, wherever you choose to work – be it our offices in London and Reading, ZSL London Zoo, Liverpool Cathedral, Historic Royal Palaces or at a leading law firm.
Why CH&CO? CH&CO is a catering company with more than 750 locations in the UK and Ireland, supplying delicious food and memorable service to clients across many different sectors, including workplaces, education, venues and destinations. This year, we’ve been listed in The Caterer’s
Top Places to Work in Hospitality and were shortlisted for the Best Employer Catey. This is thanks to our inclusive nature, the way we communicate with our teams and because we actively encourage our people to grow with us. We could reel off a long list of employees who have carved impressive paths in the business – and we’re very proud of them. CH&CO is constantly growing and evolving, making it an exciting business to be part of. You’ll learn loads, work with like-minded
people who love food and people as much as you do, and there’s always room to develop – whether it’s your skillset or your role within the business. On top of that, we work in some of the most incredible locations throughout the UK and Ireland – think world-famous visitor attractions and event spaces, head offices for leading companies and law firms, livery halls, independent and state schools. Oh, and we hold a Royal Warrant for catering services to Her Majesty the Queen. Aside from our passion for food and service,
we care about the environment and have a strong focus on sustainability in all our locations. Reducing our impact on the planet, as well as promoting health and wellbeing to our customers, is visible in everything we do – and we’ve won awards for it.
What’s in it for you? If we haven’t already sold it to you, here’s some of the benefits we offer our employees throughout the business: ● A tailored induction programme that gives you all the information you’ll need to hit the ground running and feel included. ● Ongoing training.

Alex Milligan, chef de partie When Alex Milligan joined the business in 2015, he was making sandwiches and catering for buffets and banquets in the City. “I didn’t know what I was doing or where
my career was going at first,” he says. Fast- forward four years, and Alex is hospitality chef de partie for a prestigious insurance firm. Working under head chef Guillaume Chambon, Alex has the freedom to bring his ideas to the table and cook with exciting, innovative produce. In 18 months he has learned how to refine his cooking, polish his plating and develop his palate. A stage at L’Enclume in Cartmel, Cumbria,
has increased his love for seasonality and farm to fork cooking, too: “I experienced techniques and flavour profiles that are completely out there, and I’m working on incorporating what I’ve learned into our menus.” So, what’s next for Alex? “I’m learning
more about the business side of being a chef, with the aim of managing my own site within CH&CO. I’ve got a really clear pathway now.” With a natural creativity that he applies to
his cooking, an incredible palate and great mentorship, watch this space for Alex!
