Maître Rôtisseur
July 12th marked the start of a new era
for Metropolitan Catering. Following a 12
month span in a temporary location, the
team were delighted to inaugurate their
new state of the art kitchens following
a multi-million dirham investment in
rebuild and fit-out. With an increased
capacity enabling an output of up to
55,000 meals per day, the new 18,000
square foot facilities are the newest and
largest of their kind in Dubai.
Following the ribbon cutting ceremony
attended by Vice-Chairman and CEO,
Mohammed Al Habtoor, guests were
taken on an exclusive tour alongside a
mouth-watering array of refreshments
presented by Director of Culinary Chef
Paul Hage and his team.
In line with the new facilities,
Metropolitan Catering also unveiled
a fresh brand identity which was
showcased at this year’s Arabian Travel
Market.
The company also welcomes new
leadership in General Manager Ramy
El Sayah who will oversee a line-up of
over 170 chefs, hospitality professionals
and logistics experts working together
to deliver on a renewed customer
promise to its clients – to offer private,
corporate and commercial catering of
uncompromising quality and unbeatable
value.
Ramy El Sayah, commented “It’s a very
exciting time for us, we are immensely
proud of the new facilities and we’re
looking forward to continuing to grow
our operation. The investment has
elevated Metropolitan Catering to a
stand out choice amongst its peers and
we’re looking forward to winning new
business as a result.”
Early last year, after 23 years of operation, the Metropolitan Catering units in Jebel Ali
Freezone were closed and demolished to make way for an all new top of the range catering
facility. Refreshed and revived one year on, the company proudly re-opens for business.
