Abstract
Castell Howell Foods is collaborating with Wales’ largest independent contract caterer Just Perfect Catering Ltd. to devise a lower carbon menu and create a sustainability blueprint for suppliers and customers.

Working with Castell Howell suppliers including Authentic Curry, Llaeth Llan, Radnor Hills and Celtic Pride Premium Beef the initiative will also focus on the reduction of plastics. The Welsh Government is aiming ‘to make their food and drink the most sustainably produced in the world’.

Kathryn Jones, sales director at Castell Howell Foods, said: “The sustainable food movement has become a driving factor in consumers’ decisions to ensure that our resources can continue to provide food to feed the growing population today and in the future. The food and beverage industry faces unique challenges regarding sustainability. We look forward to collaborating to address these issues.”

Just Perfect catering, which was established in 2009, has become the market leaders in operating and supplying workplace contract catering services to clients across Wales.

Louise Owens, director at Just Perfect Catering, added: “Over 90% of our produce comes directly from Welsh suppliers, and we’re excited to be expanding this further by strengthening our partnership with Castell Howell and their network of Welsh suppliers. This underpinning ethos, with an unrivalled commitment to using Welsh produce, has ensured that we continue to lead in our industry.”
