Award winning hospitality

Open Golf Official Hospitality has won the best Business to Business Corporate Event award at the Scottish Event Awards for its running of hospitality services at The Open Championship at St Andrews this year.

The Open celebrated its 150th anniversary this year, and Open Golf Official Hospitality, operated by Sodexo Prestige, had 800 staff working at the event for client, The R&A.

Speaking after the awards ceremony at the Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow on September 9, Sodexo Prestige regional director Austin Tilsley said: “The Open Championship is truly one of the greatest sporting events in the world and it is a privilege for our team to be associated with such a high profile event.

The R&A are a fantastic client to work with and they fully understand and appreciate the many challenges we face during the event. For our chefs, managers and staff, this event gives our organisation the opportunity to display our full range of skills at the highest possible level."

Of course, in 2011 The Open Championship will be moving to Royal St Georges in Kent, but customers can be assured that with the same award winning hospitality team looking after them, their hospitality experience will be on par for a great day out.  To book your 2011 Open golf hospitality experience, click here.
