BaxterStorey seals a deal with BlackRock
BaxterStorey, the UK's largest independent contract catering company, has snapped up a five year contract worth approximately £12m with asset management firm, BlackRock, to cater at the firm's Drapers Gardens office in London.
The deal sees BaxterStorey providing a whole host of catering services for approximately 1,800 people; from staff dining in the new restaurant, which includes freshly prepared hot meals, a deli bar, a grab and go range and a salad bar, to vending services and a Starbucks coffee offer - which is BaxterStorey's first Starbucks franchise.
BaxterStorey will also deliver a hospitality service over three floors of the impressive building, serving up to 1,600 covers per day, plus corporate fine dining for BlackRock employees and guests. Additionally, BaxterStorey will be managing a retail shop on behalf of the client.
Noel Mahony, Chief Executive of BaxterStorey, commented: "We are absolutely delighted to be awarded this prestigious contract with BlackRock. In these austere times it is critical for BaxterStorey to help our clients to get a return on their investment in catering and we believe that our ability to deliver high quality and innovative food, that's freshly prepared using seasonal ingredients, is why BaxterStorey can fiercely compete with retailers for a large share of customer spend."
