“The market has continued to grow and develop and we’ve seen the outsourcing sector continue to flourish. Our diverse portfolio of brands enable us to offer flexible solutions across a number of industries. What’s most important to us is the development of our people. This is why we have invested a significant amount of resource into further developing our academy structures, as well as our broader training programmes.

"Our recipe is simple - good fresh food, sourced locally, prepared and served by well-trained people.

“This year, we have already seen how the market has continued to offer opportunities for our brands.”
