ESS is delivering a range of services from catering, retail and leisure to cleaning, laundry and reception at Porton Down in Wiltshire and Portsdown West in Hampshire. As part of the mobilisation, ESS has welcomed over 40 transferring employees to its workforce.
ESS is providing a high street style dining and retail experience for customers at both locations. This incorporates a range of hot and cold food concepts at breakfast and lunch as well as hot and cold drinks ranges and retail items to take away. Health and wellbeing are promoted through plant-forward dishes and daily healthier options selected and signposted by ESS nutritionists.
ESS supports over 250 military establishments across the UK, from Cornwall to the north of Scotland. DSTL is an addition to the Hestia South West Multi Activity Contract already being run by ESS.
Bob Gray, managing director of ESS Defence, commented: “This is a great opportunity for us to provide customers at both sites with a range of new food and beverage offers, as well as high quality soft FM services. We’re proud to be supporting DSTL and we’ve enjoyed welcoming our new colleagues and customers.”
