Abstract
Niche city caterer Lusso has gained a £315,000 catering contract with Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty at their new corporate headquarters at 60 Gracechurch Street, London.
A team of 10 Lusso staff now manages on-site catering for 650 Allianz employees in their new staff restaurant which has been named Benet's after the 16th century church, St Benet Gracechurch, which once occupied the site.
They also manage a Costa coffee bar located in the lower atrium within the building, as well as extensive hospitality for the firm within eight dining rooms on the eighth floor.
Commenting on the gain, Paul Hurren, managing director of Lusso, said: "Allianz's re-location has presented us with an exciting opportunity to develop our food offering within a stunning new corporate environment. As always, the emphasis is on seasonality and on fresh, locally-sourced, affordable food choices throughout the working day.
"We invited our client to visit some of our other City-based contracts to see first-hand the difference we could make and she was 'wowed' by what she saw."
