Cardiff Pinacle award new contract to Missing Ingredients
Cardif Pinnacle has awarded Missing Ingredients- the Crown
Group’s Business and Industry Caterer, a one year rolling
contract to provide catering services from July 2005 across its
four sites in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.
The contract has an estimated annual turnover of £300k, of which
Rushes Restaurant makes a major contribution, will require 11
new MI team members to operate over the four sites.
Cardif Pinnacle was formed in 1971 and is established as a
leading supplier of financial services and investment products.
MI won the contract from a local catering company who operated
over only two of Cardif Pinnacle sites.
MI will be providing a comprehensive catering service at each
site to over 600 staff. One of the sites to receive a MI
makeover is Rushes Restaurant and Café Bar, a popular, high
street style venue offering speciality coffee, caesar salads,
baguettes and mouth watering main courses, such as sausages
infused in mash potato and organic vegetables.
An additional Cardif Pinnacle site that MI will be responsible
for was not previously providing a catering facility, yet Cardif
Pinnacle expressed a keen desire to do so. ‘New Horizons’ will
now offer ‘Grab’n’ Go’- a brand from MI’s Deliverance Range to
include freshly made sandwiches, paninis and a selection of
snacks and drinks.
MI competed against four other caterers, including Compass
Group, to gain the contract which will see the company design,
develop and build the new catering facilities. “We came in with
realistic pricing levels and innovation,” explains MI’s Managing
Director Sean Valentine. “MI has the reputation of Midsummer
House, a two Michelin star restaurant, which is regarded highly
in terms of focus on quality and an excellent place to train
chefs. ”
