Apprentices and graduates on both the Lex School of Talent and Galvin’s Change training programme will join forces to share the practice and training opportunities.
Rob Kirby, Chef Director at Lexington, and Gavlin’s Group Chef, Warren Geraghty, have been the driving force behind the new partnership. Rob says, “I’ve had a long standing friendship with Galvin brothers, Chris and Jeff, and I’m really looking forward to working alongside Galvin’s Group Chef, Warren Geraghty, in bringing our apprentices together.
“There’s so much synergy between the two organisations – both have been built around amazing food, people and suppliers. The partnership has been developed based on this together with the trust and integrity both organisations share.”
Lexington also announced that it has extended its partnership with the London Business School and will manage all retail catering onsite, dining and events, and hospitality services.
Mike Sunley, CEO of Lexington, said: “We have worked in partnership with LBS, since 2009, to evolve the catering offering, providing a service that meets the needs of its international business community, delivering value for money and a personalised service.
“By refreshing all retail spaces and introducing new innovations, which include expanding the social media opportunities and smart phone technology, we’ve been able to improve engagement with the school’s community.
“We have some exciting projects planned and look forward to growing with LBS, developing our offering to meet the needs of their international community over the coming years and ensure they receive the best possible service.”
