Caterer AiP gains second Bedford school contract

The five year contract awarded by Samuel Whitbread Community College in Shefford has a value of £1.5 million to the privately owned catering company. AiP has been busy at work introducing brand new marketing throughout the campus, new wider choice menus and new point of sale techniques. The college benefits from a biometric cashless system. The catering company has many ideas for the college including special winter and Christmas menus and some surprise special days and promotions in the New Year. David Weller, AiP's managing director, said: "We are very privileged to be working in partnership with Samuel Whitbread. "Their academic record is excellent and we hope to contribute to the daily enjoyment of the pupils by providing top quality ingredients at a cost effective price point. "We all know that the continued economic climate is affecting families across the UK and school meals are no different; we have to look after our clients without compromise." AiP won its first Bedfordshire contract on 31 October.
