Mazola Excursion

Executive Catering have been doing the most incredible job looking after the food for sponsors' evenings, various special lunches and the Press Day. The ThrustSSC team simply cannot believe how hard they are working to help the project. Richard Noble was discussing their help with Jeremy Davey, who is known to like his food:

'Jeremy, how do you feel about the Executive Catering people?'

'Are you joking, Richard? They feed me and its free!'
