| With a subsidy running into hundreds of thousands when we first took over the contract at Solihull, there was a significant challenge to face - reduce costs whilst maintaining a catering service that contributed to, rather than impaired employee productivity. Back in the 1990?s the UK motor industry was facing world-wide competition as the Japanese presence attacked UK and Europe hard. Business overheads were, and still are, under constant review. Under the banner of Sovereign Catering, later to fall under the OCS Group, the task of reducing subsidy began. The UK contract catering industry was highly sceptical of achieving zero subsidy in the 90?s but the fears were proven to be unfounded.  |
 Delivering a zero subsidy return on Catering... and more |
 Outstanding catering service |
Since 1993 OCS Catering has continued to evolve catering on site to meet the needs of all the employees. Since retaining the contract in 2004 as part of OCS winning all the business for PAG Group ( over £5m turnover on 6 sites ) the Main Restaurant has recently been branded as ?foodhouse? with a complete image make-over and new menu range. Satellite kiosks have been refurbished and vending reorganised with a highly utilised retail shop, a chuck wagon service to remote parts of the site and cost efficient satellite kiosks close to production. All this means that catering income is maximised and PAG associates needsare met quickly and efficiently. Tariffs are perceived as excellent value for money and the result is a financial catering return to PAG. |
