Ben worked with Colliers as a catering subconsultant on a museum business planning job this year, June-Oct 2024. Client was Bath & North East Somerset Council who are creating a new Fashion Museum. Ben prepared forecasting for the proposed museum café and event catering operations. Both the team and the client were very impressed with Ben’s knowledge and the work provided, all done in a friendly, collaborative and efficient manner – highly recommended!
