The Team

Emma and Kate Lumsden – Directors

Emma and Kate Lumsden, directors and owners of Esprit, have many years experience in the catering and hospitality industry. They founded The Lumsden Twins Company in 1988 and became one of the leading caterers in London in terms of quality and service.

It was during this time that they recognised the need for top quality waiting staff who were well trained, efficient, reliable and well turned out. Since taking over Esprit completely in March 2006 Emma and Kate have embarked on a mission to put the company firmly on the map as staffing specialists and to achieve the same reputation they enjoyed as caterers.
