Lusso, the specialist City caterer and part of CH&Co Group, has added the US-based multinational engineering firm, AECOM, to its client portfolio, continuing its successful period of growth.
The new three-year contract, worth approximately £3m in turnover, will see Lusso provide quality catering, hospitality and concierge services for 1,200 AECOM employees at its new London head office in Aldgate Tower.
Lusso will bring its expertise, Food Philosophy – the ethos that focuses on seasonality, sustainability, provenance and partnering with small local suppliers, and quality food and service offer to a variety of areas, including concierge, staff café, tea point consumables, and refreshments for an extensive hospitality and events service.
Following an in-depth tender process, Lusso beat stiff competition to secure the contract. The team stood out for its innovative catering and service proficiency and solutions, and for clearly demonstrating that it understood AECOM culturally. AECOM was also impressed by Lusso’s strength in concierge services, and by the site visits that showcased the company’s approach in action.
Paul Hurren, managing director for Lusso, said, “AECOM is a fantastic addition to the Lusso portfolio and I congratulate the team on an exemplary tender process. As well as presenting a quality proposition of delicious, sustainable food and excellent service that understood and matched AECOM’s requirements, we showed that we understood them on a cultural level too. This combination is a great foundation for building a strong client relationship.
“It’s been an incredible year of growth for Lusso but delivering the very best for our clients remains at the heart of what we do. We look forward to forging an exciting, progressive partnership with AECOM, and to bringing quality, innovative solutions to its employees.”
