Niche hospitality company, KUDOS, has been awarded a seven-year deal with The Mermaid.
Based in Blackfriars, this fabulous events venue consists of a 600 seater auditorium, the stylish River Rooms and Queenhithe, a large white box breakout space.
The new partnership, worth nearly £8m, will see KUDOS work in unison with The Mermaid to introduce a brand new range of innovative food concepts and menus for meetings, weddings and events.
The contract was awarded to KUDOS following a highly contested tendering process involving a host of large and small catering companies.
Alicia Duncan, General Manager of The Mermaid, comments: “We are elated to be working alongside KUDOS to offer our clients a brand new catering experience. The KUDOS team are extremely talented and their menus are both inspired and creative – something we pride ourselves on as a venue. Vowing to do things differently in 2016, we felt that it was time for a change and KUDOS is a perfect match for us.”
Jon Pryce, Managing Partner of KUDOS, said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to have been given this opportunity. The team has put so much hard work and effort into both creating an innovative and engaging tender and building a strong relationship with the venue, so this is a well-deserved win in my opinion. The venue has fantastic aspirations and a desire to offer the conference and events market something unique and we are excited to be playing a major part in this.”
