Outsourcing is today seen as a key factor in allowing organisations to optimise profits by concentrating on their core competencies and ensuring that they are not distracted by important, but non-core, activities. Contract caterers remove the difficult, but nevertheless essential, task of keeping employees – and sometimes visitors – happy by providing food.

The UK has seen a 50% increase in the numbers of meals served by contract caterers over the last 10 years. Moreover contract caterers are able to build on the relationships with their clients by offering a range of additional out-sourced functions – covering hotel services, vending, garden and environmental services and many others.
