Our People

Each division of Jewell has its own specialists, yet everyone works together on event planning, menu creation and event execution, creating a true team effort. With a collective industry tenure of hundreds of years experience, our expertise is deep and our effort collegiate. This does not go unnoticed by our clients, who often remark on the respect and camaraderie of our staff.

Key Staff

George L. Jewell

When Mr. Jewell founded George L. Jewell Catering Services in l967, he had already honed his exuberant and innovative style through years of experience in traditional dining service. He was schooled in hotel management at Acton University and Oxford, in his native England. He gained indispensable skills and knowledge while apprenticing at some of Europe's finest hotels, including Brown's in London, George V in Paris and The Grand Hotel in Rome. Working for the elite London caterer, Searcy, heightened his interest in and knowledge of off-site catering.
