“I simply love this business-where great food and great people are the keys to success”

At BaxterStorey, I believe we have the ingredients to be exceptional. I use the skills developed from my experiences of having started and operated two award winning businesses (Baxter & Platts and BaxterSmith) to help position BaxterStorey as the market leader in its sector.

I am a Fellow of the Institute of Hospitality, a Trustee of Hospitality Action and a Patron of Springboard.

“Virginia Woolf penned the words ‘One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well’”

Food and drink, literally, is the elixir of life and has always played a central role in mine! I joined BaxterStorey in 2007 and I remain forever in awe of the goodwill and dedication of the people who work in our business - they give so much and with such genuine spirit and sense of fun. BaxterStorey is genuinely unique and has incredible potential.

Rick Holroyd

“I believe that people are as important to a business' success as its customers and food service”

At BaxterStorey individuals and teams are developed to reach their full potential and it is this that sets us apart from the competition. I was awarded a Catey, in 2003, for “Food Service Caterer of the Year” and in 2008 the Springboard “Chris Beaumont Special Award” in recognition of my ambassadorial work on their behalf.

“I take great pleasure in our ability to develop and deliver a unique catering solution for each of our clients that delivers real value to their employees and their business”

I am proud to be part of a team who truly believe in fresh food and local supply. This culture is very much at the heart of BaxterStorey. I joined BaxterStorey in 1998 and have seen us grow from strength to strength.

Simon Esner
UK Sales Director

“My belief is that eating habits within the UK are forever changing, I have found that what appears fashionable today is often passé tomorrow”

It is essential that we understand our market and what drives it. The health of our customers, the diets they choose and current trends change the way in which we manage our business. I hope that the energy and business innovation that I have will make for cutting edge results.

Matthew Thomas

“I fundamentally believe that our approach to local purchase, quality food and people will make a real difference to our business”
