BM secures £10m worth of contracts in six months

Caterer BM has won contracts valued at more than £10m in the past six months, with clients across the legal, investment, real estate and media sectors.

New clients include global real estate investor, developer and manager Hines, law firm Lewis Silkin and power tools business STIHL.

All contracts are approximately one to three years in length and will see BM provide services including breakfast, lunch, free food issue, hospitality, coffee bars, full-service restaurants and events.

The contracts encompass sites in London, Surrey, Nottingham and Manchester.

Some contract mobilisations will involve relocations of facilities or headquarters, with BM overseeing the dual running of old and new sites and mobilising.

The company will also support refurbishments, engagement campaigns and new client lounges.

Joint managing director Angus Brydon said: "Securing these prestigious contracts aligns seamlessly with BM's strategic vision and our expansion goals in the Midlands and the north.

"It's truly heartening to hear from our clients that they chose BM because we genuinely 'got' them. By tailoring our food offers to their distinct needs, we have been able to demonstrate that the BM family is all about deep understanding and partnership."

BM, previously Bartlett Mitchell, was founded by Wendy Bartlett and Ian Mitchell in 2000. It was acquired by BaxterStorey's parent company Westbury Street Holdings in October 2020.

Brydon and Antony Prentice were named joint managing directors in 2022 following the departure of former UK managing director Francois Gautreaux and chief executive Ian Thomas, who took up another role within WSH.
