Today The Concerto Group is made up of a multitude of separate divisions, enabling it to cater for any event brief - but it wasn’t always that way. The group started with the merger of three businesses; Business Pursuits, Ultimate Experience and Richard Groves Catering in 2000, and was joined by many more companies along the way.
With the acquisition of event companies such as FullCircle, MASK, LOLA and Crazy Cow Events as well as the launch of Venueseeker and venues such as Plaisterers’ Hall, OXO2, The Conservatory at Painshill Park and The Garden Room at Syon Park, Concerto’s reach expanded far beyond event management and catering - to production, venues, staffing, entertainment, venue finding and much more.
Concerto is now part of CH&Co Group, one of the U K’s most impressive and fast-growing catering and hospitality groups. CH&Co. has a diverse portfolio of specialist businesses providing innovative catering, event and service solutions for business & industry, education, healthcare, inspiring venues and well-known visitor attractions. CH&Co. operates 750 partnerships across the UK and Ireland with a turnover in excess of £300m, employing nearly 6,200 people.
CH&Co. also holds a Royal Warrant for catering services to HM The Queen.
To date Concerto has catered for over 1 million people - and counting!
