Wilson Vale wins £400,000 contract

Catering provider Wilson Vale has won a £400,000 contract to provide services to property investment firm IM Group.

After a successful opening, the caterer will provide breakfast, lunch, coffee bar and “extensive hospitality” services at the new site. Some 14 caterers applied during the tender process, which is valued at £400K in annual turnover.

The Solihull complex now houses IM Group companies including IM Properties, Spitfire Bespoke Homes, International Motors, Isuzu UK and Subaru UK.

Andrew Wilson, co-founder, Wilson Vale, said: “We went through a very serious accreditation process and one thing is clear – a shared culture and a belief that catering is a crucial part of a company’s welfare strategy, enhancing the working environment, staff retention and motivation.

“IM Group’s on-site staff restaurant, ‘The Bridge’ is a very special facility. The overall design and finish show the thought and care that have gone into ensuring that their staff and visitors have a welcoming, relaxed and homely hub to eat and meet in during the working day.”

Andrew Edmiston, MD, IM Group, added: “As a company we have put a lot of effort into the design and construction of our new HQ. From the outset, we knew that we wanted a catering provider at the top of their game, producing excellent food and great hospitality.”
