Need help - how do i find businesses who use outside caterers

[core365]

Can anyone help me on this one.
I have a client who needs to contact businsesses who use outside catering services.
Has anyone any experience in this filed at all.

The end goal is to have a list of contacts with phone numbers and or email addresses of these potentail businesses based in the midlands area - probably within 30 mile radius of Coventry.

Any help / offer of services to achieve this greatly appreciated.

Hi Core365

Is your client looking just for businesses who use catering? If so, I would suggest s/he starts with corporate hospitality companies.

If your client is looking to outsource, I'd be interested in talking to them about it.

Kind regards

Clare

Hi Clare,
thanks for your reply.

They are wanting us to source/ put together a contact list of say 100 potential companies that they can then market to/ keep in contact with.

Rather than corporate hospitality companies they want local businesses who have a requirement for corporate and business lunches - any ideas.

When you say about outsourcing - we can but what are you offering?

I think that the question to ask in these circumstances is, "Why do they need outside caterers?"

DO they have an office with a meeting room, where they host events? In which case, look for companies that have events coming up, such as networking events, client conferences etc.

Are they running training courses? Look for companies that sell training!

It's amazing how much information you can find on company websites once you start think about why someone would need a service, what would they do with it etc.
