We’re pleased to have supported a leading hospitality recruiter in Bath with its transition to an employee ownership model.
Catering Services International is an award-winning hospitality employment agency with over 35 years of experience matching staff with businesses across the UK. With 11 regional offices the company works with a wide range of firms from independent venues to major hospitality groups.
It has now become 100% employee-owned, after establishing a new Employee Ownership Trust that gives its employees a direct stake in the business.
The move to employee ownership marks a significant milestone for the company, ensuring the continued independence of the business while preserving its culture and long-standing commitment to client service and staff development.
Our Corporate Finance team acted as lead advisers to Catering Services International on this deal. We managed the creation of the new trust, supporting on the valuation, structuring and negotiations while also delivering specialist tax advisory and clearance assistance.
