SSP expands in health sector with new healthy eating offer
The operator of food and beverage brands expanded its presence in the hospital market with the opening of a Camden Food co. outlet at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow.
The outlet will serve a range of sandwiches, hot snacks and salads alongside a selection of hot and cold drinks. It is located in a central area of the hospital, adjacent to a number of complementary retail outlets including a well-known grocery brand and a newsagent.
Simon Smith, CEO of SSP UK & Ireland said; “Camden has always been a brand that appeals to consumers who want to eat a balanced diet without compromising on taste. We have revised and reshaped the offer even further to meet the needs of hospital workers, visitors and patients, bringing high street quality offers into the campus. As experts in retail, we understand how to deliver high-street brands that are really attractive to customers as well as delivering incremental income for the hospital.”
Dr. Emilia Crighton, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Director of Public Health, said: “Our new hospitals are well served by a range of both NHS run and retail partner food and beverage outlets. It is important that we work closely with our retail partners to provide an exemplary range of healthy options in NHS food and drink outlets. We welcome the work of our retail partners in working towards national Healthcare Retail Standard and the Healthy Living Awards.”
