Background of Nomad

Nomad logo

The current owner (and founder) of Nomad started this vegetarian, ecofriendly, fairtrade catering business in 2001. Since starting the business, Nomad has gained an enviable reputation for offering ethical sourced quality food at very reasonable prices.

Unfortunately, ill health forces a reluctant sale of the business.

The recipes have been designed so that the person using them can be trained in less than 15 minutes in cooking the food.

Potential For Expansion of Nomad

The trailer is in excellent condition (the current owner has spent a good deal of money maintaining and updating it). There are a number of weekends during the summer when the current owner does not cater at any festival. He also gets one or two enquiries a year for outside catering (ie catering at private parties etc), but always turns them down as he does not wish to expand the business in this direction.

The room for expansion is enormous. You could take the trailer out to festivals every weekend during festival season. Nomad has concentrated on biker, green/hippy and music festivals. More of these types of festivals can be catered at. However, there are a wide variety of festivals which have not been explored by Nomad – some of these include storytelling festivals, re-enactment weekends, pagan festivals, vintage car rallies, scooter rallies, horse trials. If you did this, you could work 5 months a year and take the rest of the year off.

Alternatively, you could spend the rest of year catering at private parties, weddings, office parties etc. A website could be set up for advertising that Nomad is available for this type of catering. This website could be optimised so that it comes up highly when “googled” etc.
