Wins with institutions including the University of Westminster, Wirral Metropolitan College and Hammersmith College mean that Aramark generated new business worth over £4.2 million per annum for 2012, up from just under £1.9 million the previous year.
Tracey Smith, Aramark’s business development director, education, said: “Our success is down to the fact that we provide so much more than food and facilities services. We know that we are a ‘shop window’ for universities and colleges and form part of their drive to attract the best students.
“Through innovating with menus, restaurant design and customer promotions, and delivering hospitality and other core FM services, we help make our clients’ institutions appealing and dynamic.”
Aramark’s portfolio of education clients also includes the Universities of London, Salford, Sunderland, Worcester and York St John.
