Emprise wins the heart of Park Lane

signs total stewarding service contract with InterContinental Hotels

September 25, 2007

The InterContinental London Park Lane has signed a deal with Emprise Services PLC to provide a total stewarding service to all back-of-house areas.

The contract was developed following a £76 million refurbishment to the hotel, positioning it as the hotel flagship for the InterContinental Hotels Group. Emprise will cover all event space – including a ballroom for up to 750 guests and 12 meeting rooms overlooking The Royal Parks.

The hotel will be supported by a group of 37 full-time Emprise staff operating 24 hours a day, all year round. The service will include full kitchen and chief stewarding staff, and stewarding for food and beverage, conferencing
and banqueting.

“We chose Emprise based on its experience and flexibility in its service offering,” said Clifford Weiner Director of Food and Beverage, InterContinental London Park Lane. “The team there is able to work around us depending on time of year and demand, which is invaluable.”

“Emprise has helped us develop a strong and passionate team to ensure the efficient running of the hotel following major refurbishment – to reinvigorate one of London’s finest hotels,” he added.

“Ensuring that the heart of house is operating smoothly is key for our team at the InterContinental London Park Lane,” commented Michael Garrett, managing director commercial and corporate at Emprise. “We fully support the hotel in its goal to provide an authentic experience for guests and believe the new working process can only assist in this goal.”
