It seems 2007 is turning out to be a very good year for contract caterer Aramark.
Kitchen Rat hears the caterer has pulled off a second major business and industry catering win following its estimated £15m a year BBC contract.
Aramark’s credit must be high as the caterer has taken over the complete running of banking giant HBOS’s catering, thought to be around 25 sites nationwide. A major coup!
The feeding duties were previously split between Aramark and Sodexho and although the value of the deal has not been officially confirmed industry sources believe it to be multi-million. Estimates run from £8m in annual turnover up, so that should keep the bank manager from the door.
Although Aramark is remaining surprisingly tight lipped about this good news, Sodexho confirmed it was no longer providing catering for HBOS and that Aramark had taken full responsibility for such services at the group, which owns high street bank Halifax.
In April Aramark won a £38m deal with HMS Nelson and the Portsmouth Naval Base and the caterer got 2007 off to a flier with a £58.4m East-Anglia defence contract, so it looks like the UK’s chief executive Andrew Main and team will have plenty to toast when we reach the year’s end.
