Eurest Services, part of Compass Group, has signed one of the largest international food and support services contracts of its kind with the global energy and petrochemicals company, Royal Dutch Shell.
This new extension to the existing contract will see Eurest providing hard and soft services to Shell sites across the USA, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Peru, Venezuela and Trinidad and the contract is now valued at over £200 million in annual revenue.
The extended contract will enable Shell to rationalise the number of existing service contractors in the Americas from more than 150 down to one. Eurest will continue to provide a wide array of services including cleaning, catering, vending and reception duties as well as mechanical and electrical services at a variety of sites including headquarters, refineries and mines.
In the USA, Eurest will be providing soft services, hard services, corporate dining, and office coffee and vending services to fourteen Shell sites throughout the country. The total contract is valued at $27 million US in annual revenues.
This extended deal with Shell across the Americas expands the existing international contract in the UK and Europe, already accounting for approximately £100 million of annual revenue. This international relationship began with Shell in early 2007 since which time Eurest Services has provided services to the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Poland, the North Sea, Nordic Offshore, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Turkey and Greece.
The announcement of this Americas extension follows the news earlier in the year of a win at the European FM Awards where Eurest Services won the 'Partners Across Borders' category with Shell. The award recognises excellence in delivering integrated services to an organisation located in more than one European country.
"Eurest Services has quickly proved its agility and competence to become a trusted and valued global partner to Shell," enthuses Ron Edwards, Shell's Global Category Manager for Real Estate. "Eurest Services' model has delivered sustainable efficiency and its focus on its people and health, safety and environment while consistently achieving results has ensured that we have met all of our objectives."
Steven McGregor, International Business Development Director, Compass Group, adds, "Securing this valuable expansion to our existing international agreement is strong confirmation that we have aligned ourselves to the needs of Shell at every level in our business. We look forward to working together across the Americas over the coming years."
