Catering solutions provider Totally Delicious has enjoyed a positive start to the new year after landing a new £5 million deal.
The contract will see the company take on three new sites in the North East – resulting in a 17 per cent increase in its workforce overnight.
The latest deal for the Stone-based business involves a seven-year contract with Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums service, which will see it run all event catering and cafes at the Discovery Museum, the Laing Art Gallery and Great North Museum, all in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Managing director Dominic Bowers said: "We are excited to be taking the Totally Delicious brand into new areas.
"Our company is continuing to look forward, thanks to our successful recipe – great food, great people, inspiring venues, and a big dollop of passion."
The deal means Totally Delicious now boasts a growing portfolio of 16 sites across the 海角视频.
Locally, it runs a number of successful sites, including its flagship restaurant at Trentham Gardens, cafes at visitor attractions including Middleport Pottery, and staff canteens at some of the area’s biggest employers such as KMF, Portmeirion, Autonet and Steelite International.
Dominic believes that it is the company’s culture and people management which helped it to successfully clinch the latest deal.

"We will work with the three venues in Tyneside to increase brand reputation, activity, efficiency and transactional spend with visitors coming back again and again."
The agreement will see 25 catering staff at Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums venues transfer to Totally Delicious.

£1 million worth of business in the North East alone.
Other plans for Totally Delicious over the next few months include the introduction of new vegan options, and a drive to reduce single-use plastic packaging.
