Wilson Vale wins five more years at College Court

Independent caterer Wilson Vale has signed a five-year contract extension with College Court Conference Centre at the University of Leicester.

Worth £3.75m, the new deal will see Wilson Vale continue to provide hospitality services for conference guests and visitors, as well as catering for weddings and events.

The caterer first won the contract in 2013 and has since played its part in helping College Court to win a number of awards for the venue, including Hotel of the Year in 2016 at the Leicester and Leicestershire Tourism awards.

Steve Crawford, centre director for College Court, said: "There is no doubt that Wilson Vale's unique approach, their ability to forge close relationships and their passion for first class food and service are standards that fit very comfortably with our culture.

"We absolutely love having them on site. With their help and support we have built our reputation and a loyal client base that truly enjoy the fantastic food they deliver day in, day out."

Andrew Wilson, co-founder of Wilson Vale, added: "Gaining a five-year contract with College Court means the world to us and it shows that strong relationships continue to drive our business. We look forward to working closely with Steve Crawford and his team to build the food and service standards further at this first-class conference centre."
