Abstract
Niche caterers Wilson Vale has won the contract with biotechnology company Amgen to provide breakfast, lunch and hospitality services for 750 of its employees.
The deal is valued at £500k and is across two sites in Cambridge and Uxbridge.
Andrew Wilson, co-founder and managing director of Wilson Vale, said: "We couldn't ask for a better start to the New Year. Despite a challenging marketplace, we continue to attract like-minded clients who have a quality ethos and who appreciate fresh food and great service. "Approximately 40% per cent of our new business development can be attributed to recommendations or an extension to existing business. People make a business and we feel that our success to date can be firmly attributed to the relationships which we have built with our clients." Wilson concluded: "2012 marks the tenth anniversary of our business and it would be great to hit a £15m turnover at that point. Our goal is to continue to build on our strong reputation to date through consistent, controlled growth and without compromising our ethos or quality standards." Andrew Wilson established the company in 2002 with his partner, Carolyne Vale, who oversees the operations side of the business. The company is based in Ashby de la Zouch in Leicestershire and its portfolio of clients is mainly within the B&I and education sectors. The focus is on fresh, home-cooked food using locally sourced, seasonal produce, wherever possible.
