Innovate will deliver their range of food and beverages and manage the overall daily catering function for its 400+ employees and guests.
Derick Martin, CEO of Innovate Services, said: “To have been selected by Ultra Electronics to manage its catering function at Greenford is very exciting for us, particularly as this is our first step into B&I catering.
“We have extensive experience in modernising school catering and this approach can be easily adapted for the B&I sector. Our team is very much looking forward to launching a rejuvenated menu, which focuses on freshly-made food, great service and in delivering a delicious range of meal options that will have wide appeal.”
The company will also increase the hours in which the dining facilities are available to staff at Ultra, with a breakfast service starting at 7:30am and concluding at 10:00am. The lunchtime service will the commence from 12:00 midday until 2:00pm, while a ‘Grab & Go’ option has been extended so it is available throughout the working day from 7:30am until 3:30pm. To ease queuing, bar coding has been introduced, and cashless payments will also be implemented in due course.
A member of the Ultra Electronics panel explained why Innovate was selected. They said: “Innovate really stood out to us -the presented a typical meal and board-level buffet, which really showcased their inventive and value for money approach. We liked the fact that everything they serve is a blend of freshly made, healthy meals, which is produced on-site, using fresh ingredients.”
