Caterer Edwards & Blake adds to education contracts

East Anglican contract caterer Edwards & Blake has boosted its education client base by adding four new schools and a further education college to its books.

The new deals add £500,000 in annual turnover to the caterer’s bottom line.

Schools included in the deal include Kelvedon St Marys and Writtle Junior School – plus a satellite school in Kelvedon – in Essex, as well as Rosemary Musker High School, Thetford, Norfolk.

Edwards & Blake will also caterer for more than 5,000 students via three outlets at Lowestoft College in Suffolk.

Co-founder Caroline Blake said: “It will be a busy but exciting time and with a great team on hand I don’t foresee any problems.”

The East Anglian company already caterers at six high schools, five child care centres and two primary schools.
