John Charles, MD of Catering2Order, had a ministerial visit from Jonathan Shaw MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, on Tuesday (2 March). The Minister appeared to be very receptive to the issues discussed with John and our own Chief Exec, Sally Reynolds.
But not content with that, John was elected onto the Board of Social Enterprise London (SEL) at their AGM on the Wednesday night and at their hustings went on to tackle the third sector spokespeople of the three main political parties over government contracts.
Bermondsey-based outside catering company, Catering2Order has much to celebrate. The Social Firm's CEO, John Charles, has been appointed as Chair for BusinessLink London's Deaf & Disabled Entrepreneurs Advisory Group (DDEAG) as well as as an advisor to BERR in March 2009. In September 2008 Catering2Order were appointed as caterers for Skanska Civil Engineering on the Olympic Village. Following on from the success of this, in January 2009 Catering2Order was also awarded two further contracts for larger projects with Skanska.
