BaxterStorey to continue to cater for Barclays Bank
BaxterStorey is today announcing the extension of its relations
hip with Barclays Bank. From 1 January 2010, the UK’s leading independent food service management company will expand its catering operation across all Barclays UK non-branch offices within the Global Retail and Commercial Bank (GRCB).
In a new five year agreement, BaxterStorey’s chefs and service teams will deliver the company’s award winning sustainable and fresh food offering to circa 24,000 staff at 18 locations through a combination of staff restaurants, coffee and deli bars. It will also cater for Barclays’ internal hospitality requirements and manage its business and client entertaining comparable to Michelin star standards. Additionally, BaxterStorey will oversee a high quality vending service throughout the network.
BaxterStorey was originally appointed by Barclays in 2004 to provide the catering services in the then new build, One Churchill Place, head office. Throughout the years, it has worked alongside Barclays’ chosen facilities management services operator, Johnson Controls and will report into Johnson Controls when its new contract term commences.
Wendy Cuthbert Head of Corporate Services, Barclays Bank, explained Barclays’ decision to re-appoint BaxterStorey: “It is extremely important to us that our teams have access to nutritious, high quality, affordable food whilst they are at work. Over the last five or so years BaxterStorey has willingly adapted as our business has altered, translating their understanding of our operation into outstanding catering solutions which have always impressed. We conducted a rigorous tendering process for this latest exercise, during which it became abundantly clear that the operational standards BaxterStorey provides, and their ability to demonstrate best practice across our estate, continue to make them the perfect fit for our requirements.”
Commenting on this highly prestigious contract gain, Alastair Storey, Chief Executive, BaxterStorey, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to continue to work with Barclays. It is extremely gratifying to know that our customers are satisfied and are keen to remain working with us. We’re looking forward to developing services further and making sure that people dining across the Barclays estate experience a food service that leads the workplace dining market.”
