-The industry event that will be serving up ideas and innovation -
 
CATEX, Ireland’s largest foodservice and hospitality event, returns to the RDS, Dublin from Tuesday 26th – Thursday 28th February 2019, and with over 11,000 visitors expected to attend, it’s one of the most eagerly anticipated industry events of the year.  
 
A biennial event, CATEX 2019 is the prime opportunity for visitors to meet with over 200 suppliers and manufacturers, watch hundreds of chefs, baristas and drink specialists compete, and network with thousands of industry colleagues. 

​Sodexo, one of Ireland’s leading on-site services providers,  has appointed Julie Ennis as managing director of Corporate Services, Ireland and Northern Ireland.  Julie joins the company from Bank of Ireland, where she was the Head of its Mobile Sales Force for three years.
 
Margot Slattery, who held a dual role as head of corporate services and country president, is moving into the latter position on a full-time basis, reflecting the growth of Sodexo’s operations in Ireland. Representing Ireland on Sodexo’s UK and Ireland regional leadership committee, she oversees all its divisions here, which includes corporate, education, healthcare and government services, linking in with the Irish executive team. Margot also sits on the Board of Sodexo Ireland and will continue to steer its growth across both the public and private sector here.
