UK Contract Catering Market 2014 Insights Show Recovery Signs

DALLAS, December 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

ReportsnReports.com adds UK Contract Catering: Market Insight 2014 research report of 59 pages that reviews the UK contract catering industry and quantifies the market size and historical growth rates, while reviewing key factors behind these figures and exploring drivers of profitability.

The UK Contract Catering: Market Insight 2014 research report says factors such as the rise in the number of people in employment as the economy recovers, the increase in numbers of schoolchildren as the effects of higher recent birth rates feed through, and the increasing number of older people requiring residential care as the population as a whole ages appear increasingly positive. Complete report is available at http://www.reportsnreports.com/reports/319725-uk-contract-catering-market-insight-2014.html .

UK contract catering industry has been one of the leaders in the UK's outsourcing revolution but has been impacted by recent, less certain, economic conditions and labour market changes. This research analyzes and discusses performance of leading contract catering service providers. It also analyses drivers of industry growth - in particular relevant macroeconomic indicators such as employment levels and patterns, and more specific factors, like numbers of people in schools and hospitals, which determine demand for contract catering - setting out historical trends and forecasts.

The United Kingdom contract catering market has several attractive characteristics, according to the report. Compared to many support services, the provision of meals offers greater scope for differentiation and has impact on the overall satisfaction of employees. This helps to elevate the purchasing decision from being one purely driven by price, and makes customers reluctant to terminate a contractor relationship while satisfaction levels are high among users of the service. Compared to other catering segments, contract catering is seen as less volatile, benefits from a population of captive end-customers to serve and, as it operates from client premises, has much lower capital intensity.

There is evidence of convergence between contract catering and facilities management, with many of the leading catering companies offering additional services to enable them to increase revenue per contract. Views of customers are split between those who are keen on the idea of contract catering being part of an FM service bundle, to obtain cost and efficiency benefits, and those who see value in keeping it separate, found the report.
