Too many cooks in catering?
Need a caterer? It wouldn't be hard to find one today at whatever price point you're eyeing - which, while great for customers, means competition is at boiling point in the business. In Brunch this Saturday in The Business Times Weekend, the biggest names in event catering tell BT about a tough business where what looks like boom time plays out in cutthroat competition, thin margins and a struggle to contain costs.
In The Raffles Conversation, the intensely private Gwee Lian Kheng grants BT a rare interview, just before he retires at the end of a 45-year career helming one of Singapore's leading property developers, UOL Group.
Faced with an outlook best described as "challenging", should you hold back investing or work towards bracing your portfolio? Fund Watch sifts out funds that could act as a ballast from the anticipated volatility.
