AiP picks up £340,000, five-year deal at Birchensale Middle School

Education caterer Alliance in Partnership (AiP) has been awarded a new five-year contract with a Worcestershire school.

AiP will deliver school meals to 398 pupils at Birchensale Middle School in Batchley in a deal worth around £340,000.

The school, which has won a number of awards for its focus on sustainability and healthy eating, including Healthy School and Green Flag Eco School status, said that it recognised a complementary ethos in AiP.

Business manager Pauline Begley said: "We were impressed by AiP's green credentials, inventive menus and inclusive attitude and look forward to working with them."

The win follows recognition from the Soil Association, which recently awarded AiP the Gold Food for Life Catering Mark for 26 Borough of Kensington and Chelsea contracts.

David Weller, managing director for AiP, said: "We are extremely pleased to have won this contract and have lots of new and exciting ideas to contribute to Birchensale Middle School."
