Intro and Catch-up
CAUTION:External Email.
Hi Blair
Hope you are well. Firstly just to introduce myself, my name is Adam Ellmers and I’m the GM Finance and Commercial at
Bay Venues, part of my role also includes managing our Catering and Audio Visual teams.
It would be great to catch-up for a coffee at some stage and see if there are any opportunities for us to work together.
I’ll also bring along Steve McClay our Catering Manager (who I think you already know) and Phil Town our AV Manager
(who has recently replaced Cian O’Cinnseala).
How’s your diary looking over the next couple of weeks? We can come over to your end of town.
Thanks
Adam

Historic Village catering opportunities
CAUTION:External Email.
Hi Blair
I hope this email finds you well. You and I met with Cian a little earlier in the year. I am reaching out to see if we could
meet to discuss catering at the Historic village. As I said when we met, I believe our catering services could be a great fit.
We are currently doing some small dinner with you and would like to do more.
We specialize in providing top-quality catering services for a wide range of events, including corporate functions,
weddings, parties, and more. Our team of experienced chefs and dedicated staff are committed to delivering
exceptional culinary experiences that not only satisfy the taste buds but also leave a lasting impression on guests.
In addition to event catering, we also have extensive experience in managing and operating cafes. Our expertise in this
area allows us to create seamless and enjoyable food experiences.
Our aim is restaurant quality food, with a quality restaurant experience and to surprise and delight our customers by
exceeding their expectations.
I would love the opportunity for Adam Ellmers, our GM of finance and commercial, and I to meet with you personally to
look at any opportunities there maybe to work together.
I am on leave through to Tuesday the 25th but free to meet after that.
Please let me know a convenient time and date, and we will be more than happy to accommodate your schedule.
Kind regards
Steve McClay

Hi Cian,
Thank you for your time on the phone earlier.
The only change on the menu will be the chicken. We will serve roast chicken breast with apricot sauce.
I confirm, we will serve it as traditional bu et and we will bring everything that need to go on the bu et
station. For the tables, we will use what is at the venue (plates, cutlery, glassware…).
My team will be onsite around 2pm to set the tables up and Ants will arrive around 5.30pm. I have 3 FOH
sta and Ants in the kitchen.
Let me know if I’ve missed anything or if you need anything else from us.
Enjoy the rest of your afternoon.
Nãku, nã
