Heritage Portfolio announces five venue retentions
Abstract
Heritage Portfolio, the specialist events and catering company within Sodexo Live!, has announced it has retained five Scottish venues following a series of competitive tenders as it celebrates its 30th birthday this month.

Founded in 1993 and acquired by Sodexo Live! in 2017, Heritage Portfolio provides catering and events services at some of ‘Scotland’s most iconic and prestigious venues’, with further sites across Britain. As it marks its third decade it has recently retained and extended partnerships with:

  • V&A Dundee – two-year extension: Heritage Portfolio has this year invested to ‘transform’ the restaurant space with a new style of offering that emphasises the cook from scratch and seasonal principles
  • Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo – two-year extension: In 2023 Heritage Portfolio also looked after catering for the 650 performers on the esplanade. This saw 12,500 post show snacks, 3,000 hot meals and 25,000 hot drinks served across the three-week run.
  • Dundas Castle – three-year extension: Heritage Portfolio has been the exclusive partner of Dundas Castle for more than 20 years where they cater for more than 60 weddings a year.
  • Musselburgh Racecourse – seven-year extension: Heritage Portfolio has been working with Musselburgh Racecourse since 1999 and the investment will begin over the coming winter months.
  • Mansfield Traquair – two-year extension:  As part of the extension, investment will include a new bar and an upgrade to the kitchen equipment.

Sandy Robson, executive director for Heritage Portfolio, said: “What a way to start our 30th birthday celebrations by retaining over 15 years’ worth of business across five of our venues in Scotland. The whole team and I are delighted with these successes and are excited by what we can achieve in years to come as we work collaboratively with our partners to deliver exceptional service for our visitors and guests.

“I would like to thank all of our venue partners, some of which we have worked with for more than 20 years. As we bring to life development plans in the coming year, we’ll invest across the portfolio in initiatives and venue facilities that prioritise the experience of our customers.”
