About Me

“Hard work and concentration on the business are invaluable for success,” is the opinion of Sukhdev Komal, who has utilised both virtues in building up a superb catering enterprise.

Mr Komal is chairman and managing director of Sukhdev’s Catering Services Ltd, based in Birmingham, but having a portfolio of clients throughout the UK.

Totally separately he has also developed a chain of restaurants under the title Chandni Chowk, with branches on Soho Road, Birmingham, Southall in Middlesex and East London. Another is soon to open at Merry Hill. Mr Komal says that being in business can mean having to work very long hours and he has toiled day and night to build up a thriving enterprise.

“That is the only was to do it,” he said. The result has been long-standing contracts with hotels all over the country, besides conferencing venues. Specialising in Asian cuisine for weddings, birthday parties, business dinners and many other functions, the company’s clients come not only from the Asian community, but also those of English extraction. It is the complete catering service, including event management, all organised to ensure that things go smoothly for clients.

“You can have some bad days in business, but you have to learn to overcome them,” said Mr Komal. “I have never given up, rather kept pushing forward.” Custom has grown over the years and now Sukhdev’s Catering Services is a very considerable operation with 35 full-time employees, besides casual staff engaged as necessary. The expedition began for Mr Sukhdev when he came to UK and joined his father-in-law Sucha Singh, one of the honourable partners of Sagoo & Takkar Ltd, and started learning every minute detail about catering and food. Since then, his charm and enthusiasm for learning the magical aura of food preparation and its presentation has not met the closing stages yet. With Asian Sweet Centre and Dilli Darbar, Mr Sukhdev matured in the industry and in 1980 he founded his full-blown firm dedicated to lavishly and warmly handled catering services. Mr Komal’s son Charanjit and brother Baljit are both directors “It is all about perfection, SCS and its core professional values,” said Mr Komal, who during his time in business has made many friends amongst the clients, which has helped the business to grow.
