As part of a ten year partnership, an investment of £550,000 will be used to extend the main hospital building. The new retail offer will include a Costa Coffee and an amigo shop, which will incorporate new healthier ranges, and is expected to generate an estimated £1million for the trust to invest in its services.
Andrew Jones, MD healthcare retail, Compass Group UK & Ireland, said: “This partnership will see obvious enhancements to the hospital building and will offer improved retail services. We’re confident that this development will improve the experience for everyone visiting the hospital and we look forward to working with the team at Dorset over the years to come.”
The new Costa Coffee and amigo shop will run alongside The Friends of Dorset County Hospital shop.
