Abstract
Aramark, a global leader in food and facilities management, announced the acquisition of independent foodservice company Wilson Vale in the UK.

The acquisition of Wilson Vale strengthens Aramark’s portfolio in the UK with a focus on servicing premium B&I and independent schools contracts.

Co-founded and run by established industry leaders Andrew Wilson and Carolyne Vale, the independent caterer has long operated with seasonality, ingredient quality, and local sourcing at the core.

Helen Milligan-Smith, managing director of Aramark UK, said: “Aramark is delighted to wholly acquire the Wilson Vale business in the UK. This authentic, well run, high-quality business fits perfectly with the culture, values, and growth ambition for Aramark here.”

Wilson Vale will retain its existing leadership team, employees, clients, suppliers, and well-served customers ensuring business as usual.

Andrew Wilson, managing director of Wilson Vale, added: “This is an extremely rare opportunity to become part of a larger family where the values and principles of our business can be fully retained.

“Without doubt, one of the most pleasing things over the last two decades has been the way in which our people have developed, and in turn, how they have evolved the services we provide to our clients.

“These have always been the most important things to us, and they will continue to be as we embark on the next generation of growth with the benefit and support of Aramark’s ownership.”
