Heathcote & Co, founded by Paul Heathcote MBE and Gary Bates, has grown into a prestigious catering service renowned for its quality and style. Established in 1997, Heathcote's Outside catered for restaurant clients seeking exceptional food and service for private events. After a merger and subsequent reformation as Heathcote & Co, it became the sole catering provider for Matchday Hospitality and Non-Match Conference & Events at the Salford Community Stadium in 2023.

Collaboration and communication are at the heart of Heathcote & Co's culture. The Executive Team, comprising leaders from various areas of the business, meets weekly to discuss ideas, concerns, and strategies.

To maintain a sense of community and connection, the Heathcote & Co Team Page on Facebook serves as a platform for sharing good news, company updates, and open shifts. Daily briefings keep employees informed and involved in the company's direction.

Heathcote & Co supports flexible working arrangements, encouraging transparency and communication for both remote and office-based employees. Virtual meetings via the Teams platform allow employees to interact and collaborate.

Investment in professional development is key to Heathcote & Co's success, with the company financially supporting employees' educational pursuits. This commitment to ongoing learning extends to senior management, with qualifications in Mental Health First Aid, Emergency First Aid at Work, Food Safety and Hygiene, and Safeguarding.

By prioritising communication, collaboration, and professional development, Heathcote & Co has created a thriving and engaged workplace that reflects the company's commitment to quality and excellence in the catering industry.
