Bennett Hay achieves B Corp certification alongside its strongest year of growth

London-based independent workplace catering and guest services business, Bennett Hay, has announced its most successful year to date, marked by strong growth across the business and the achievement of B Corp™ certification, meaning the company meets B Lab’s standards for social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

The certification comes at the end of a landmark year for the independent hospitality and catering company. Bennett Hay surpassed £20 million in turnover, grew its team to more than 300 colleagues, opened a new Central Production Kitchen in Shoreditch and secured 11 new client contracts. The company also maintained 100 per cent client retention, with 12 existing clients renewing their partnerships. Supporting this growth, Bennett Hay’s central support team increased by 25 per cent.

Bennett Hay’s B Corp certification reflects its commitment to responsible business through Growing for Good, the company’s sustainability strategy built around four pillars: Human Kind, Waste Warriors, Planet Positive and Food Heroes.

It reflects our commitment to building a business that delivers for our clients and colleagues while creating a positive impact through our Growing for Good strategy.”

Robin Hay, Chairman, added: “As we celebrate Bennett Hay’s 15th anniversary this year, achieving B Corp certification is particularly meaningful. When Anthony and I founded the business, we were clear that strong values and responsible business practices would always be at the heart of what we do. This milestone reflects our continued commitment to those principles as the company grows and evolves.”
