The new deals equated to £12.5m in turnover over the duration of the contracts. And, almost £15m is attributed to re-tender success and the retention of existing clients, as well as organic growth through the expansion of contracts to include additional client sites.
The range of new and retained clients includes, Barbon Insurance Group, XPO Logistics, and one of the largest employers in Corby.
Tony Carr, managing director for Catermasters and Host, said: “2016 has been a great year. We’re thrilled to have added new clients to our portfolio and to have retained and developed existing contracts. The fact that clients are keen to work with us and expand our partnerships is testament to our chefs’ culinary skills, the great client relationships our teams enjoy, and to the focussed service delivered daily.
“The feedback we’ve received has been fantastic. Clients, old and new, are impressed by our creativity and innovative concepts, the enthusiasm of the teams, and our ability to challenge the norm. A common theme is that we successfully understand our clients’ requirements and cultures and that’s vital in helping us deliver services that reflect their own values and vision, and the demographic and needs of their employees and customers. We look forward to building on these successes into 2017.”
