MEET THE TEAM
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE FOOD
BEHIND YOUR PEOPLE
Our experienced senior management team members are as diverse as our ingredients. But, just as with a great recipe, they combine perfectly, each adding a little magic and each working towards the same goal: to impress you and your colleagues every time you sit down to eat.
CCSL offers our clients the best of both worlds - a company that is small enough to care a great deal about your business and offer you a personal service, whilst also being big enough to provide you with an unmatched level of support and resources.
We create great food, using fresh, locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients. We invest in training our teams to the highest levels while always encouraging creativity and ownership of ideas.
The CCSL company culture is positive and friendly, resulting in a happy workforce who engage with customers positively and who are simply passionate about great food.

Ethical Sustainability
Food Miles
Reducing food miles is one of our top considerations whenever we look to source new ingredients or plan each CCSL site.
We work closely with our local teams and suppliers, sourcing from within the community when we can, streamlining our product ranges, finding solutions to storage demands and changing habits and behaviours to reduce frequency of deliveries.
Food Innovations
