About TickEat

After a career in airline catering, the visionary Heerum Fleary founded TickEat in 2015: a strategic business partner for food and beverage brands seeking to place their products in the travel, leisure and hospitality industries.

Experts in delivering superb snacks, meals and drinks to the cabins and rooms of airlines, trains, cruise ships, ferries and hotels, TickEat cultivates rewarding, long-term alliances with both buyers and sellers.

TickEat Ltd is a pioneering procurement and solutions partner dedicated to the travel and leisure sectors. For over a decade, we have connected buyers with innovative suppliers, helping airlines, trains, cruise lines, lounges, and hospitality providers discover products and services that elevate their customer experience.

As the only service provider focused primarily on travel, TickEat goes beyond traditional sourcing, we deliver tailored strategies, masterclasses, curated events, and powerful partnerships that save time, drive innovation, and create lasting industry relationships.
