ISS launches new food brands for the changing workplace

ISS, a leading workplace experience and facility management company, is revolutionising its retail food services for workplaces with the launch of two new brands, ‘The Place’ and ‘The Whole Grain’.

the whole grain - the place

Both brands were developed in response to the changing needs and demands on workplaces. ISS gathered insights from its own experts and beyond, canvassing input from employees, external stakeholders and more than 700 customers — resulting in two new dining concepts designed to deliver agile food services suitable for a variety of workplaces.  

The Place, for example, offers a hearty nutritious take on ‘comfort food’ classics — quickly and conveniently served up in comfortable spaces where customers can escape and recharge, helping them to refocus and sustain energy throughout the working day. The Whole Grain, in turn, offers a restaurant-quality alternative to the ‘same everyday’ high street meal deal, with appealing menus that provide customers with a wide range of delicious dining options, from healthy and nutritious to comforting and indulgent. 

With more than 1 million meals served worldwide every day, ISS is already a global leader in food services and, with the launch of The Place and The Whole Grain, is bringing the future of workplace dining to the ‘now’. These insight-driven brands are all about connecting people and places through nutritious, sustainable foods that create better workplace experiences and happier, healthier — and more productive — workforces. 

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: 

We’ve listened to our clients and consumers about what they want from our retail food services, and we couldn’t be happier to announce our new brands. As a leader in retail food services, ISS understands 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.”
