Entier is considering expanding its overseas operations after agreeing to a £6.45 million investment from the Business Growth Fund.
The independent caterer, which is based near Aberdeen, initially specialised in offshore catering and serves meals to more than 4,500 people on oilrigs around the world.
It also runs the Fresh café chain in the northeast of Scotland and owns Wild Thyme, which runs restaurants at Glamis Castle in Angus and the Glenturret Distillery in Perthshire.
Peter Bruce, chief executive and co-founder, believes that he can more than double the size of the company and push revenue over £100 million.
Turnover was up 13 per cent to £44.9 million in the 12 months to September 30 last year, with pre-tax profit rising 72 per cent to £1.5 million.

Mr Bruce said: “While the price of oil and gas remains low, offshore operators are keeping a keen eye on cost. We focus on delivering high-quality, healthy food to play our part in improving productivity and reducing costs.”
Mike Sibson, head of the Aberdeen office for the Business Growth Fund, said of Entier: “The customer feedback is outstanding.”
