Long-serving co-owner steps down

A Buckinghamshire-based packaging supplier is bidding farewell to a long-standing director after two decades at the helm.

Cater 4 You, a wholesale supplier of food packaging, catering disposables and plastic glasses, has announced the retirement of director and co-owner John Le Grys, who steps down this month after 20 years with the business. 

Having joined in 2005, John has played an integral role in guiding the company through a period of growth and operational change, being central to Cater 4 You’s transition towards sustainable packaging and e-commerce.

John said: “It has been my privilege to be part of Cater 4 You for more than two decades. 

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with incredible people and see the company develop an established niche in a crowded and competitive market. 

“I’m sad to be leaving but happy with what has been achieved by the whole team.”

Andy Watts, founder and director, added: “John’s practical advice and commercial knowledge have been a key factor in the establishment of Cater 4 You as a profitable enterprise. 

“We are immensely grateful for his steady influence over the years and wish him the very best for the future.

“John and I have been working together for more than 25 years and have become close personal friends, so I will miss his humour and business insights, though I know he is only a phone call away.  

“He is exiting the company but leaves a strong team of people to push the business forward to new heights.”
