Abstract
Robyn Jones, co-founder and chief executive of contract caterer Charlton House, has been named one of the most influential business leaders within the hospitality sector during 2007 –and the only female to appear on the listing.
Hospitality publication En Passant surveyed 150 senior players from the UK and international hospitality to find out who had made the most impact on the sector throughout this year.
Jones and her husband established Charlton House at the height of a recession in 1991. The company now has an annual turnover of £67 million and employs 1,750 people nationwide.
She commented: "It has certainly been an eventful year! We were placed at number four in a survey of Britain's top 50 companies within the hospitality sector last month, and in October we appeared in The Times/Aurora Top 50 Places Where Women Want to Work. We are ending the year on a high, that's for sure".
