Further and Higher Education
We provide food services for students and staff at colleges and universities that are tailored to customer needs and reflect the trends in sustainable and ethical ideals.
Students and staff at colleges and universities have particular demands when it comes to food services. They want healthy and freshly prepared meals using ethically sourced ingredients at a competitive price. Thanks to our food service offer 'theunity', we deliver on those demands.
In the further and higher education markets we are in direct competition with high street retailers, which is why value for money, quality and convenience are equally high on our agenda.
We use local and regional suppliers and healthy cooking practices to provide a flexible and convenient food service offer, which is committed to the Fairtrade movement and the use of organic products wherever possible.
Convenience at the core of our food service offer
With many students and staff living on campus, 'theunity' is designed to simplify life by supporting formal dining, relaxation and socialising in one area.
Our offer includes breakfast, lunch, hot meals, snacks on the go and coffees and pastries to ensure, no matter what time of day, 'theunity' is the students' and staff's convenient choice.
To reflect the diversity of customers, we have a number of different offers sitting beneath 'theunity' brand:
- Contemporary Classics - a modern twist on traditional food
- East in Fusion - popular cuisines from India to the Far East
- Lo Prendo - everything from pastries to pizzas for on-the-move convenience
- Coffee with Principles - the only coffee offer in the UK to hold triple certification: Fairtrade, organically produced and approved by the Rainforest Alliance
Sodexo University Lifestyle Survey
Our commitment to understanding our markets and the trends and behaviours of our customers is evident in our Sodexo University Lifestyle Survey, published in association with the Times Higher Education magazine. The Sodexo University Lifestyle Survey has helped us to identify the non-academic issues around student life and design our offers to match their needs.
