Tricon Foodservice Consultants are delighted to announce the opening of its Singapore office.

The UK headquartered international foodservice consultancy already has London and Dubai offices, and operates throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The addition of a third regional office will allow the business to make strides in the fast-growing Asia Pacific region.

The area is a significant, and active, marketplace for the Foodservice and Hospitality industries, and it has long been the intention of the Tricon ownership to operate directly from an Asia office. Whilst the company has successfully delivered management & design consultancy projects in Hong Kong, Beijing and South Korea via its London office, the establishment of a dedicated Asia-based office is the natural next step and will triangulate Tricon’s international footprint to cover the Asia Pacific market.

Singapore was chosen as Tricon’s office location based on its central position within the area and it is hoped that the office will act as a hub to win new business throughout the wider Asia Pacific region.

Tricon CEO, Mike Coldicott, explains the move, “We’ve been wanting to open an office in the Asia Pacific region for many years, but it has always been about finding the right individual to lead the endeavour. We now believe in Adam we have found the right individual to lead Tricon Asia forward to the next level of its growth and development.”

Adam O’Connor comes from a hospitality background and has spent over 30 years in the industry, holding leadership roles at Compass Group, Starbucks (Alshaya), and Rational, before founding his own business, Cashel Global. Having lived and worked in Asia for more than a decade, he has developed a deep understanding of the region’s diverse hospitality landscape.

“I had been working with Mike and the team on several projects,” says Adam. “During a conversation over dinner, we recognised a shared vision and set of values. Taking on the role of leading Tricon’s expansion into Asia Pacific felt like a natural next step for all of us.”

Adam’s business partner will now take sole charge of Cashel Global leaving Adam to focus on developing and growing Tricon’s Asian marketplace.

“Adam is bringing a wealth of experience to his new role as Director at Tricon Foodservice Consultants (Asia Pacific) pte Ltd, and we couldn’t be more pleased with his appointment”, adds Mike.

The pair will now meet to formally kick-off operations. Tricon Singapore officially opened for business on 1^st February 2025.
