| Keen Prices: | With excellent prices and back-up from our suppliers, negotiated for you on a continuing basis, linking in to the CaterBuy arrangements for your catering supplies could significantly reduce your costs. Our Schools typically enjoy increased gross margins to make their catering services a real success! On average, we have been able to achieve savings of between 5% - 10% of annual spend on supplies, typically representing real savings of between £2,000 and £10,000 per annum. This has been achieved without changing brands or quality of products, and in many cases, without changing suppliers. |
