Jeremy Nutsford named as 14forty’s new Head of Food

Integrated FM provider 14forty has announced Jeremy Nutsford as Head of Food as it continues to drive its growth strategy.

Jeremy has vast experience in the sector, having been with parent group Compass UK & Ireland for more than 10 years, most recently as Culinary Lead for the Business & Industry division.

Now he will focus on growing 14forty’s food offer and raising its profile within the company’s service portfolio - which includes both hard and soft FM expertise.

The appointment comes at a time when Managing Director, Antony Collett, is leading an ambitious growth strategy which aims to double the size of the business.

Antony said: “Food and beverage service is an important part of the integrated FM mix for 14forty and Jeremy brings enormous experience and energy to the role.

“He will help us lean into Compass Group’s world-leading reputation in the contract catering sector, with an opportunity to support current and new clients with an outstanding self-delivered food offer.”

14forty already delivers catering services to 40 clients across the UK but sees strong growth potential in the market.

Jeremy, who first joined Compass as a relief chef manager way back in 2015, said: “This is an exciting challenge for me and one I aim to embrace.

“There is huge potential at 14forty and I will be focusing on delivering consistently high-quality food service, strong client engagement and strategic planning across all our current accounts.

“My experience is that clients want a delicious and inspiring food offer which delivers health, wellbeing and sustainability benefits – delivered with a ‘wow’ factor that makes their people want to eat at work.

“We’ll be engaging with clients to understand their priorities around all those elements as well as delivering training for our teams and searching out new business opportunities.”

Jeremy will report into Ryan Holmes, Culinary Director, and Jason Trotman, Head of Culinary Operations, at Compass UK & Ireland’s Business & Industry (B&I) sector.
