Lusso beats competition to secure £3m contract with AECOM
Lusso has beat stiff competition to secure a three-year contract worth approximately £3m in turnover with US-based multinational engineering firm AECOM.
The specialist City caterer will provide catering, hospitality and concierge services for 1,200 AECOM employees at its new head office in Aldgate Tower, London.
Lusso focuses on seasonality, sustainability, provenance and partnering with small, local suppliers to provide quality food and service to an extensive range of areas, including concierge, staff cafés, tea point consumables and refreshments for an extensive hospitality and events service.
Finalisation of the deal and the tender process for the contract took a long time to negotiate due to fierce competition.
The Lusso 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 of Lusso, said: "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."
