A HISTORY OF INNOVATION

Our history stretches back to the Second World War and the establishment of Factory Canteens by Jack Bateman. This was a new era of communal dining for munition and manufacturing workers, providing wholesome food that supported the health and wellbeing of British workers at a time of rationing.

Introducing new ways of thinking and working remains at the heart of what we do. We’re not afraid to challenge ourselves and pursue goals that push the market forward and enhance our services for clients and customers. From Bateman’s Factory Canteens to the latest frictionless retail technology, we're always at the forefront.

SAFETY AND SECURITY AT THE FOREFRONT

Ensuring the wellbeing of our colleagues, clients and customers is our top priority every day.

Our See Care Share programme instils a safety culture from the very top of the organisation. Its success is evidenced through the achievement of multiple Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Orders of Distinction.

We operate in secure locations requiring the highest levels of clearance and protocols. Security is central to our processes, systems, technology and training, with Secure by Design principles and government requirements integrated as standard. This extends to our supply partners who are experienced in operating in these environments.
