Too good to eat

Article Abstract:

The themed restaurant sector of the UK leisure market has expanded more rapidly than other restaurant sectors, according to a 1997 report from Marketpower. Economic growth in the middle of the 1980s encouraged people to eat out regularly and to experience different surroundings. Early themed restaurants offered good food as well as a theme, whereas restaurants opening up in the 1990s are finding that a shortage of skilled staff, limited food choice and poor service are hindering their chances of success. Food needs to become the focus of the business in order to succeed.

Good taste

Article Abstract:

The British Hospitality Association's 1996 Contract Catering Survey indicates that the penetration of the commercial and leisure catering markets has resulted in a 100% increase in turnover in the contract catering sector since 1991. According to a director of Gardner Merchant and chairman of the Contract Catering Forum, Bob Cotton, new areas, such as racecourses, golf clubs, museums, theatres, airports and railways, represent a market which should be profitable.

Good grounding

Article Abstract:

Local authority synthetic grass pitches tend to be mainly used for football (75%), while hockey accounts for 25% of its use. Synthetic pitches have two advantages over natural grass pitches: sports development and economics, and they are increasingly being used at independent schools. The UK football authorities prefer natural grass pitches for skills development and matches, however, high bookings of synthetic pitches demonstrate their popularity.
