BM Caterers Expands Business Development Team

BM Caterers has made two new appointments as well as an internal promotion to its business development team.

Deniz Inceer joins the UK contract caterer as business development manager with Lisa Cook appointed head of regional business development, while Michelle Jugessur has been promoted from new business relationship manager to head of business development for London.

Cook, based in the Midlands and reporting to BM co-managing director Antony Prentice, will be focusing on BM’s regional growth including expanding the company’s existing geographical presence. She will also be supporting with client relationships in the regions. She previously held business development manager roles at catering companies including Impact Food Group, Mellors Catering and Alliance in Partnership.

Inceer, based near Reading, will report to Jugessur, and has been tasked with developing BM’s existing business in both London and the regions, as well as supporting Jugessur on sales bids and tenders. Her previous business management experience includes positions at Santa Fe Relocation and Select Apartments.

Most recently, she served as a sales and partnership manager with Rest Less UK, a digital community for the over 50s.

We have made this restructure to strengthen our position in the London market, where we have already won more than £3.5 million in contracts this year.

Jugessur’s new role and the addition of Inceer to her team will build BM’s London 2024 strategy, also strengthening the company's sales proposition - with Jugessur and Cook acting as Head of Sales for their respective areas while also working with and reporting to joint managing directors Angus Brydon and Antony Prentice.

"Our presence in the regions needed the additional focus from an experienced business development manager and Lisa brings a wealth of expertise and maturity to a market where growth to create opportunities for our team is widely available.”
