Availeon  plc  is pleased to announce that its  subsidiary,
Hudson Rowe Catering Services ('Hudson) started trading at
the Royal Pump Rooms on 21 June 1999.  They have introduced
their  new  brand  Cafi Hudson, which was tested  at  their
Harlestone  Heath contract and is a high quality restaurant
at  the  heart  of  the  newly restored  Royal  Pump  Rooms
cultural  and  tourism centre. The first  indications  show
that trading at Leamington Spa is exceeding expectations.

The lease, which is for an initial 12 years, with rights to
renew,  carries an exclusive right to all catering and  bar
services in the Assembly Rooms and the rest of the complex.
Confirmed  bookings  exceed all expectations  with  a  wide
range  of  activity  from cocktails and canapes  to  formal
dinners for 200.

The Royal Pumps Rooms complex has been fully refurbished by
Warwick  District Council at cost of #6.9m and incorporates
a  new  County  Library,  Art  Gallery  &  Museum,  tourist
information centre, shop and Assembly Rooms.

Hudson  is regarded as an integral partner in this  complex
and have been responsible for the planning and installation
of  all the catering facilities, which are proving a  great
success  with  the residents of Leamington and  surrounding
districts.
