ISS redefining retail food services in launch of new brands
ISS, a leading workplace experience and facility management company, is revolutionising its retail food services with the launch of two new brands, The Place and The Whole Grain.
Officially launched at ISS’s office in Weybridge in September, the new brands will help ISS deliver more efficient food services, and to foster wellness and belonging in workplaces.
The Place will become ISS’s new fast-food concept, offering a hearty and nutritious take on comfort food classics, while The Whole Grain is designed as an appealing alternative offering to a high street meal deal or packed lunch. Both The Place and The Whole Grain brands have been built on insights from across the business and beyond, gathered from interviews and surveys with employees and external stakeholders, including more than 700 customers.
With a focus on reducing food waste and carbon emissions at the heart of the new brands, the launch further reinforces ISS’s commitment to championing sustainable workplaces and delivering its Net Zero and sustainability agenda in the UK & Ireland, with the business working with clients and suppliers to halve its food waste globally by 2027.
The two new brands will bring the future of workplace dining to the now, building insight-driven and industry-leading products that will cement ISS as experts in the food space.
Dan Corlett, Managing Director of Workplace Services at ISS UK & Ireland, said:
“We’re delighted to be launching our two new food retail brands, The Place and The Whole Grain, which will help to enhance the food service experience and satisfaction of our consumers. Having showcased the potential for the brands at a roadshow event earlier this month, we’re really excited about the potential for ISS to lead the way in this environment and for the new brands to flourish in the coming months.”
Hannah Hughes, Marketing & Retail Concept Director at ISS UK & Ireland, said:
“Having listened to our clients and consumers about what they want from our retail food services, we couldn’t be happier to announce our new brands. As a leader in retail food services, at ISS we understand the importance of providing the right food and beverage choices that align to the needs of clients and our consumers, delivering nutritious and sustainable food. We look forward to watching these brands grow and help to enhance the workplace food offering for our clients.”
