Commercial Reduction Solution
Current UK Market
The UK catering market is undergoing significant changes, with £700 million lost by blue-chip caterers due to rising costs, outdated solutions, and lack of innovation. Many sectors, including education, defence and manufacturing, are now bringing catering services back in-house to reduce costs, manage menus, and maintain financial stability. However, this shift poses risks such as TUPE challenges, loss of buying power, and potential disruptions.
Food Division’s Commercial Reduction Solution offers a bundled service approach to mitigate these risks, delivering consistent, cost-effective catering by centralising food production and minimising labour obligations. The approach includes comprehensive support, from employee engagement and supplier management to sustainability initiatives, aiming to achieve carbon-neutral operations by 2035.
