City Pantry, the UK’s leading corporate food delivery platform, has today announced the appointment of Matt Ephgrave as it’s new Managing Director.
With renowned experience in hybrid and marketplace businesses, Ephgrave was previously the COO of Festicket, the world’s largest festival travel platform.
In the new role, Ephgrave will be focusing on providing businesses with a forward thinking approach for their employees’ food and wellbeing, making everyone’s working lives better and reflecting the new world we live in. With a huge amount of experience in scaling-up across the entire business cycle, he will also focus on driving commercial growth, working closely with City Pantry’s commercial team to ensure they continue to be the leader within the corporate catering market.
Since the beginning of lockdown, City Pantry has focused on their ‘Pantry Packages’, an at home service which enables companies to deliver food and gifts directly to their employees across the UK. City Pantry’s mission is to help companies support their teams wherever they are based, focusing on company culture and employee wellness.
Matt Ephgrave, Managing Director of City Pantry said “The last 12 months has drastically altered our view of office culture and it has been a real challenge to maintain this while we work at home. I’m really excited to be joining a team that has done so much to help companies maintain this during this difficult time – nothing brings people together more than food! The future of the office is still uncertain, but I’m looking forward to working with our clients to support them as they transition back, whether that’s through a hybrid office or a fully remote set up.”
