Renewals keep contractor Cucina’s 100% retention rate intact

Managing Director Steve Quinn said the St Albans-based education sector company, which operates in 37 schools, has achieved outstanding results in both schools, with significant turnaround in numbers of students eating in the restaurants. Commenting on his company's 100% contract retention rate, he said: "We're obviously delighted to retain both of these contracts. We're always looking to develop new, exciting approaches to the way we offer delicious, nutritious food to our young customers." Soon after Cucina's initial appointment at Edgebarrow School, Jane Carpenter, business and enterprise manager, said: "Take-up of school lunches has soared. Cucina has a desire to be part of the school rather than just being our caterers." And within a year of Cucina's appointment at The Harefield Academy, the director of resources and business development Dr Phil Bassill commented: "The majority of our students now eat school dinners, and benefit from healthy, well-prepared, eciting food. "We have seen Cucina's positive influence on the students' energy, behaviour and attention spans."
