Abstract
CH&Co, the independent catering group, has awarded its Unit of the Year 2011 (chef-managed site) to Steria at Thames Valley Park in Reading, run by CH&Co's niche staff catering brand, Charlton House.
Chef manager, Tom Ellison, from Stone Street in Reading, accepted the award on behalf of his team of eight who look after the catering needs of 450 people on site. Earlier this year, Charlton house retained a group deal with Steria across six sites and were awarded a seventh contract on top. Ellison and his team received an engraved cup, a certificate, £1,000 spending money and a bottle of champagne for their outstanding levels of food and service. Commenting on the award, Ellison said: "It is great to get this team recognition for everything we have worked for and continue to work for. With the current financial climate, my team and I are very happy to share the prize money as a 'well done' bonus!"
