Robyn Jones, OBE founded CH&Co with her husband Tim in 1991 on a Government Enterprise Allowance. Her vision was to gain a reputation for improving food at work by providing exceptional eating experiences.
Within two years in the height of a recession, the company had won the Booker Prize for Excellence as Best Young Business and Best Caterer.
CH&Co now has a multi-million pound turnover, employs almost 2,000 people and holds 140 contracts nationwide.
Robyn is a patron of the Association of Catering Excellence and a trustee of the PM Trust. She is a guardian member of the charity, Hospitality in Action, a winner of a Catey Award - the industry equivalent of an Oscar, and was named the Credit Suisse Most Outstanding Woman in Business, 2007.
She has also featured in four business books: 20/20 Hindsight by Rachelle Thackray; two of the How I Made It, Sunday Times books by Rachel Bridge and, How They Started in Tough Times by David Lester and Beth Bishop.
