Independent catering company, Wilson Vale, has gained a catering contract with Fulneck School, an independent day and boarding school in Pudsey, West Yorkshire.
A team of sixteen Wilson Vale staff opened the new contract on 23 February, providing a breakfast, morning break, lunch and boarders’ tea service on a seven-day-a-week basis to 500 pupils and staff. The contract was formerly operated in-house and is worth £400K in annual turnover.
Deborah Newman, principal, said: “At Fulneck we are acutely aware of the need for our pupils to be offered a nutritious, healthy diet, and of the impact this has on the learning and developmental process. Having reviewed our catering service, we made a decision to appoint Wilson Vale as our catering provider.”
Andrew Wilson, co-founder and managing director of Wilson Vale, said:”Our fresh food ethos and strong operational focus continues to attract like-minded clients who value quality and consistency. We feel very honoured to be working with a school that places so much emphasis on the wellbeing and support of its pupils and staff.”
This latest gain brings Wilson Vale’s portfolio of independent schools to 25, representing one third of the business. The remaining contacts are mainly within business & industry and the conference sectors.
“Regardless of whether we are catering for a school or within a business environment, our food is made in-house by our craft skilled chefs using fresh, seasonal ingredients,” said Andrew Wilson.
