SSP expands presence in health sector with new opening
Abstract
SSP, operator of food and beverage brands in travel locations, has expanded its presence in the hospital market with the opening of a Camden Food Co. outlet at the newly constructed Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.

The outlet will serve a range of sandwiches, hot snacks and salads alongside a selection of hot and cold drinks. It is located in a central area of the hospital, adjacent to a number of complementary retail outlets.

Simon Smith, CEO of SSP UK & Ireland, said: “Camden has always been a brand that appeals to consumers who want to eat a balanced diet without compromising on taste.

“We have revised and reshaped the offer even further to meet the needs of hospital workers, visitors and patients, bringing high street quality offers into the campus.

“As experts in retail, we understand how to deliver high-street brands that are really attractive to customers as well as delivering incremental income for the hospital.”

The local NHS has recently introduced a policy that insists on the availability and promotion of a wide range of healthy food and drink choices in the all the health board’s food retail outlets.

SSP has worked closely with the Health Board to further improve the offer of healthy choices and reduce sugar, salt and fat content of products served, and is one of the first retailers in the NHS to take the step of removing all sugared drinks from sale.
