Founded in 2004, by Frank Bothwell, Thomas Franks is a contract catering company. The company provides dining services including café concepts, fine dining, hospitality, and event catering, as well as supplying food for schools across the UK and Europe, particularly boarding schools. Thomas Franks is focussed on sustainability which means they work with local, family-owned regional suppliers to support local communities and to reduce their carbon footprint and food miles. They also state that 100% of the company’s food waste is composted. Winning new client contracts combined with the impact of opening a London division helped sales rise to £72.6m in September 2023.
