New MD for Rocket Food

Rocket Food has announced the appointment of Charlie Grant Peterkin as managing director.

Nov 6, 2025

Rocket Food has announced the appointment of Charlie Grant Peterkin as managing director. He has been a pivotal part of the company for over 20 years, working as director of sales and marketing, and most recently as commercial director.

His deep understanding of the brand and close collaboration with founders Michael Symonds and Caroline Hall positioned him perfectly to lead Rocket into its next chapter. The latter pair will continue to lead the business while Peterkin steps into his new role.

Table to Table
Rocket’s latest venture, Table to Table, aims to support London businesses looking to evolve their hospitality offer. It is designed for modern, high-performing offices, especially those without on-site kitchens.

“I feel incredibly privileged that Michael and Caroline trust me to take Rocket forward and launch our new delivered-in hospitality brand,” said Grant. “We believe that when teams eat well, they work better.”
