Jordan Caterers Adds Second Generation - Son To Join Parents In Management Of 32 Year Old Catering And Events Business

Jordan Caterers Design Event Planners of Cheshire & Darien announced that Jordan Rapoport, the founders' son, will join its executive committee as its Director of Sales. Previously he served as a Business Development Associate with Lockwood Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of Pershing LLC, a BNY Mellon Company. Roughly 70 Jordan employees gathered at a town hall meeting today at the company-owned restaurant, Whinstone Tavern in New Britain, CT where Jeffrey and Debra Rapoport, the firm's founders, announced that Jordan would join the family business.



Debra Rapoport said, "I can't be more pleased that our son, Jordan, will be joining our team. I know that he will be as committed to the firm's success as Jeff and I have been all of these years." In September, Jordan announced that Connecticut celebrity chefs Kevin Cottle and Van Hurd would be joining the company. Jordan also recently received Connecticut Magazine's "Best Caterer" designation for an 11th straight year.



Jeff Rapoport remarked, "With Kevin and Van guiding Culinary and Jordan managing Client Relationships, I believe that Jordan is positioned for future growth and success". Cottle and Rapoport will join Libardo Casas, Director of Purchasing and Operations; Catherine Noome, Director of Hospitality; Deborah Grazier, Director of Design; Dee Jalbert, Director of Finance; and Jeffrey and Debra Rapoport Joint Managing Directors on the company's executive committee.



Jeffrey and Debra Rapoport began the family business as The Eaterie Delicatessen and Restaurant in 1979 in Cheshire's Watch Factory Shoppes. In 1987 the company relocated and was rebranded as Jordan Caterers. Today Jordan operates out of headquarters in Cheshire and Darien and in addition to off premises catering, manages operations at Whinstone Tavern, New Britain Museum of American Art, Guilford Yacht Club, New Haven Country Club and Artspace in New Haven.
