Atkinson joins CH&Co Group from UK Shared Business Services, where he provided procurement functions on behalf of government departments and partnership organisations.
Head of procurement, Andrew Atkinson said: “CH&Co Group is passionate about delivering great food and service and procurement must enable this. I have joined a dynamic and well-respected company and I’m excited to help drive growth in this thriving business through robust procurement functions.
“There are, of course, differences between the public sector, from which I herald, and the private sector, however, in procurement the end goal is always the same; to secure the very best prices for the business and clients, whatever the commodity.”
The CH&Co Group was formed in June 2015 through the merger of CH&Co and HCM (Host Catermasters) Group.
