What TGP International does

TGP International is a privately held F&B and hospitality consulting agency founded in 2002 and headquartered in Covent Garden, London. The firm delivers an integrated 360° service model spanning strategic advisory (F&B masterplanning, hotel F&B strategy, market entry, brand activation), hospitality interior design, operational management, events and catering, marketing, and franchise/licensing representation. It serves hotel owners and operators, real estate developers, restaurateurs, food hall operators, private members' clubs, government and semi-government entities, and event organisers.

The technical backbone is a multidisciplinary consulting methodology rather than a software platform: 350+ years of combined team experience across advisory, design, culinary, and operations; a project archive of 700+ engagements across 15+ countries; 150+ concept-and-design projects; and ~50 licensing and representation agreements. Notable deliverables include Depachika (Nakheel Mall), Al Mamlaka Social Dining, Kontraloop (Split), and F&B strategy for Expo 2020 Dubai, COP28, FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, Qiddiya, King Salman Park, and Waldorf Astoria Lusail.

TGP generates revenue through four professional services streams — advisory/consulting, design, managed operations (including catering), and licensing/franchise representation — booked via bespoke enterprise engagements, RFP processes, and direct partnerships with major hotel groups, real estate developers and governments. The firm operates from 7 offices (London, Dubai, Riyadh, plus a newly announced Singapore hub for Asia) and is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors or M&A activity.
