Green & Fortune Appointed Hospitality Partner at Central Hall Westminster
We’re delighted to announce that Green & Fortune has been appointed as the exclusive hospitality and retail catering partner at Central Hall Westminster, one of London’s most iconic and significant conference venues.
The five-year partnership, which commences on 1 March 2020, will see Green & Fortune deliver all hospitality and catering services across the venue. This includes catering for corporate events across Central Hall Westminster’s 25 event spaces, its extensive concert programme, the 150-seat café within the building, and a street café opposite Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament.
A Landmark New Partnership
Central Hall Westminster is central London’s largest purpose-built conference and events venue, with its Great Hall accommodating more than 2,000 guests. Becoming the venue’s catering partner marks an important milestone for Green & Fortune and represents our third major venue partnership, alongside Kings Place and Sea Containers.
The appointment reflects our experience in delivering both large-scale events catering and high-quality retail hospitality within complex, high-profile London venues. It also aligns with our long-term strategy of measured growth, working with partners who share our values and offer opportunities to develop together over time.
Shared Values and Ambition
Commenting on the partnership, John Nugent, Founder and CEO of Green & Fortune, said:
“Since launching in 2008, we’ve been very measured and selective about our growth and our working partners. Central Hall Westminster is a perfect fit for us. Together, we have ambitious plans to develop the food offer and the business over the coming years, while retaining the strong ethos that sits at the heart of both organisations.
The venue’s focus on sustainability mirrors our own, and we’re looking forward to working closely with the team to strengthen this even further. I’m delighted that Central Hall Westminster becomes our third London venue, and we’ll put the same energy into this partnership as we have at Kings Place and Sea Containers.”
Welcoming a New Team
Emma Williams, Chief Operating Officer at Green & Fortune, added:
“We’re delighted to have been selected as the catering partner at Central Hall Westminster. Throughout the process, we felt a strong sense of alignment, particularly around people and relationships, which are fundamental to successful partnerships.
This is also a fantastic opportunity to welcome a new catering team into Green & Fortune, working with existing staff and creating new roles. There’s a genuine sense of excitement across the business as we bring a fresh dynamic to the offer.”
A Time of Momentum for Green & Fortune
The addition of Central Hall Westminster builds on a strong period of growth for Green & Fortune. Revenues for the year to March 2020 are expected to exceed £13 million, and the business was recognised for the first time in the AlixPartners / EP Foodservice Growth Report 2019.
The year also saw Green & Fortune named Boutique Caterer of the Year at the Foodservice Catey Awards, with Chef Director Jason Wild awarded Chef of the Year, and the business recognised as Best Catering Team at the London Catering Awards.
Looking Ahead
Central Hall Westminster is a not-for-profit organisation with sustainability and social impact at its core, and we’re proud to be partnering with a venue whose values closely reflect our own. Working together, we look forward to developing a hospitality offer that enhances this historic building, supports its charitable mission and delivers outstanding experiences for clients and guests alike.
We’re excited to begin this new chapter and to welcome Central Hall Westminster into the Green & Fortune portfolio.
