Style Food Service was originally founded as a result of a market niche identified by Jim Walker and John Ratbone.
Both founders had been
exposed to
clients crying out for a professional, flexible and reliable service to enhance their business or organisation.
In reaction to this Style
was created, a straight talking, problem solving business.
Not only do Jim and John know the catering and service industries inside out they pride
themselves on change management and ‘substantial cost cutting whilst improving standards’.
