Trevor Annon, Chairman and Founder of Mount Charles said the new contract win was testament to the company's expertise in providing “healthy, fresh and affordable food in modern facilities with a professional service, that meets the diverse needs of both the student body and university staff.

"Our success has been down to the relationship building strategy and the market research our Dublin based senior management team has carried out on student and staff preferences, to deliver the exciting, locally sourced, value for money food offers that they want,” he said.

Ronan Fenelon, Director of Griffith College Dublin said: “We are delighted to have awarded our campus wide catering contract to Mount Charles – our feedback from our clients has been excellent.”
