Contract caterer Eurest has announced the appointment of Alex Ricketts as its new local accounts managing director.
He joins the company following 15 years with the wider Compass Group UK and Ireland business. He was previously strategic partnerships director for Eurest and first joined Compass in October 2010.
In his new role he will prioritise the use of data to drive improvements and encourage creativity as Eurest’s client base grows.
Ricketts said: “This is an exciting time for Eurest and I am proud to have been part of our journey so far. Delivering a tailored and personal contract catering service that smaller and single site partners desire is something I am passionate about.
“Our ethos is to be seen as part of the team for our client partners and to have a personable one-on-one relationship with them – but with the size and scale of Compass Group UK & Ireland behind us. That’s a powerful combination.”
Morag Freathy, CEO of Compass Group UK and Ireland’s Business & Industry (B&I) sector, added: “I’m delighted to see Alex take on this crucial role for Eurest and it is an important appointment for the business.
“Alex’s energy, drive and collaborative leadership style have made him extremely popular with colleagues and clients alike over many years. He has helped develop our strategic vision and knows Eurest inside out. I’m confident this is a role in which he will excel even more.”
Eurest is one of Compass Group’s original brands and its biggest, with a presence across 48 countries.
