Who We Are

The Turpin Smale Team

3 Important things to know about the Turpin Smale Team

  1. Our 3 Directors all have unrivalled senior hospitality management industry experience, as catering & conference consultants.
  2. Our directors carry out the work; they are the single point of contact for clients and see the project through from initial discussions to commencement of the new services, sometimes in collaboration with our highly valued associates (all specialists in their fields). 
  3. We believe there is no substitute for practical commercial experience to deliver creative and practical catering solutions.
