Cater For You has recently promoted two long-serving employees to new positions to help drive sales, customer satisfaction and team management forward in 2024 and beyond.
Tom Payne has been promoted from Customer Services to the Outbound Business Development Manager role. In his new role, Tom will contact existing customers, assist them with the ever-changing world of food packaging products, and develop new customers.
Kate Grove has been promoted to Assistant General Manager for her hard work supporting General Manager Phil Stears and her existing marketing role. Kate has a long history in the events/catering industry, having worked as a chef, pub landlady and telesales for a national food business.
Both Kate and Tom have been with Cater For You since 2011 and, over the years, have worked their way up from Warehouse Operative and Customer Services, respectively, becoming core pillars of the business.
The knowledge they have built up over that time has become invaluable in supporting customers and other team members as the company has grown.
John Le Grys, Director of Cater For You, said of Tom’s appointment: “I’m delighted that Tom has worked so long in the business and continues to find avenues for self-development. He has a huge knowledge of our customers and is extremely personable, so we look forward to him working with them over the coming months and years.”
Cater For You has been trading for over 20 years and has a vast database of regular customers. John said: “We are sure Tom will be a huge success with his positive attitude, and we look forward to rolling out the Business Development role with future appointments to be more proactive with our substantial customer base.”
Phil Stears, General Manager, commented on Kate’s promotion: “Since I joined the business in 2022, I’ve found Kate’s knowledge invaluable in supporting me and helping the business achieve its objectives. She has a natural flair with customers, helping promote them on social media and passing that gleaned customer knowledge on internally to support our business.”
