A new hospitality company that has increased the turnover of a landmark country park during the pandemic is now offering its expertise to other leisure operators.
Coombe Abbey Park Limited which are behind the award-winning Coombe Abbey Hotel has now formed No Ordinary Hospitality Management.
The move comes after the team took over the park’s three catering outlets in May 2018 and for the third consecutive year in a row saw revenue growth, despite national lockdowns and the Covid-19 pandemic.
Coombe Abbey Country Park’s three catering outlets generated more than £490,000 of income in 2020 compared to £400,000 of income in 2019, despite a two-and-a-half month closure as part of the national lockdown.
It means the park’s catering operation has recorded its third consecutive year of growth since Coombe Abbey Park Limited – who are the operators of Coombe Abbey Hotel – took over the running of the park’s catering facilities in May 2018.
No Ordinary Hospitality Management brings together decades of hospitality, conferencing and events experience.
The company works with all types of properties including the award-winning and nationally renowned venue Coombe Abbey Hotel right through to an independent café and the people behind this new venture is made up of the Coombe Abbey management team.
It works with company owners to develop and implement creative strategies and best practices to help venues fulfil their commercial potential through operational management, human resources, sales and marketing and project management.
The team also has extremely strong relationships with the partners they work with which enables them to offer wider services, including procurement, revenue management, web design, interior design and insurance.
In addition, a new No Ordinary Hospitality Management website has also been created highlighting all of the services and the team is looking to expand its portfolio.
Richard Harrison, Managing Director of No Ordinary Hospitality Management and Coombe Abbey Park Limited, said he is thrilled to be launching the new company.
He said: “We are so pleased to be launching this new company and offering our services to others.
“The past year has proven that any business needs to be broader and more diverse than ever before and that is why we have created No Ordinary Hospitality Management.
“This venture is a chance to showcase the huge amount of experience that we have collectively within our own business and then be able to apply that into creative and dynamic support for other companies.
“Already we are working on a variety of projects and businesses that are extremely exciting and hopefully we can reveal more about them very soon.
“We are happy to sit down with a business and discuss how we can assist and provide valuable help where it is needed.”
