This is the first time Edinburgh’s only Science Centre and Planetarium has outsourced its visitor and event catering. The collaboration will see the expansion and enrichment of the hospitality offer and experience.
The visitor experience is set to be ‘enhanced’ with a refreshed visitor café, Core, that will showcase Scottish producers in a family-friendly space with menus and offers that reflect and complement the attraction’s learning programmes and exhibitions.
Following a competitive tender process, Company of Cooks stood out for its values that support those of the charity dedicated to inspiring people to understand and protect our planet.
This included its commitment to responsible sourcing and sustainability and expertise in creating bespoke visitor and event hospitality experiences that use food to tell a story, enhance learning programmes and exhibitions and support the community.
Kevin Simpson, regional director at Company of Cooks, said: “Dynamic Earth is a world class science centre and we’re proud to have been chosen as its partner. We look forward to developing the visitor and event catering provision to drive revenue, improve the customer experience and to support Dynamic Earth’s charitable objectives. This contract win also supports our ambition to grow our Scottish portfolio.”
