The college, established in 2012 following the merger of Filton and Stroud College, is made up of six campuses located in and around Bristol, South Gloucestershire and Stroud.
Aramark has taken over all the catering, food retail and hospitality services for the 15,500 students and college employees. The Aramark team will showcase the latest food concepts, trends and ‘innovation’.
Lawrence Shirazian, managing director of Aramark Food Services UK, said: “We are delighted to be beginning a new partnership with the South Gloucestershire and Stroud College.
“We hope to transform the catering service at SGS and reinvent campus life. Our new food offering is designed to meet student and staff’s varying needs, with an emphasis on healthy, fresh and affordable food.
“We are making exciting changes to the existing services and restaurants. We look forward to continue enhancing the living and learning experience and environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors.”
The new food offers include salad bars, hot jacket potatoes and soup stations. There are also future plans to expand the hot and cold to-go ranges at South Gloucestershire and Stroud College.
Andy Slaney, chief operations officer at SGS, added: “We were very impressed with how Team Aramark engaged with us throughout the tender process and really listened carefully to our objectives and fully took them on board.
“Aramark’s wealth of experience operating within the education sector clearly came through in our conversations - as did their drive to enhance the students' daily college experience.”
