Workshop : Serving the Workplace

Paper supplier Argowiggins awarded its catering contract to The Workshop in 2006 after becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the previous supplier of 15 years. Since taking over, The Workshop has substantially expanded and increased its vending and hot food takeaway service for the plant’s 500 employees.

“Since The Workshop has been established on site our catering subsidy has been reduced due to an increase in customers using the catering facility. This has been achieved by improvements particularly in relation to the provision of more choices e.g. healthy eating and vegetarian options.

We have enjoyed a successful partnership with The Workshop on site and our employees tell us that they are very happy with the changes made.”
