Catering Tariff Review 2005

Following a Senior Executive review of the IBM catering services we are delighted to inform you that there will be no general inflationary increase this year, and the overall cost of inflation will be absorbed with no impact to our Customers. However the world commodity markets which dictate the prices may result in price increases to some items such as coffee, while we are hopeful that the effect to our supply chain will be minimal, we will inform you if it becomes necessary to reflect the increased cost in our tariff prices.

New initiatives are being piloted in selected sites, as we strive to provide a continued focus on healthy eating and value for money to all our Customers . We welcome your feedback on these initiatives to help us to determine whether we are responding correctly to Customer requests, and to allow us to incorporate popular services to all sites.
