APSE Catering, cleaning and facilities management seminar 2014
Crowne Plaza, Chester, Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 January 2014
Seminar objectives
The sun has come out again on catering and cleaning. By next September, all infants will be entitled to free school meals putting over £600 million back into the service with additional funding via the Health and Wellbeing route.
Service heads have demonstrated remarkable energy and tenacity in making their services efficient and cost effective, able to compete and win new business in existing and new markets. It’s now time to ensure that local authority services are setting the pace in catering, cleaning and FM services, providing high quality services to existing and new customers whilst retaining the wider community service ethic of the Ensuring Council.
This seminar brings together speakers from facilities management, catering and cleaning and the central government agencies that impact on them to chart the future and highlight some of the many challenges facing service providers. The 2 days are crafted to give delegates the opportunity to refresh their knowledge, learn new skills and give practical advice on implementing some exciting new ideas back in the workplace.
