Independent/Private Schools

Excellence in Action

• Chartwells UK provides catering for boarders, staff and day pupils, seven days a week with Wales' oldest and most respected private schools, Llandovery College in Carmarthenshire. The Welsh co-educational boarding and day school is a popular venue for weddings and conferences and Chartwells also provides silver-service hospitality and fine dining for events at the 160-year-old school.

• Prestigious independent day and boarding school, Bryanston School, will be able to transform its food waste into compost for the school's grounds as part of a five-year contract extension with Chartwells UK.
  
  By September 2009, Bryanston School will be using a new environmentally friendly food disposal system which incorporates the De-waterer and Bionova systems. The new system will recycle food waste, turning it into compost for use on the school's extensive 450-acre grounds, including the school's vegetable growing area. Bryanston School will be the first Chartwells school to introduce this environmentally friendly composter.
  
  Paul Speakman, Bursar, Bryanston School, said, "Ever since I started working with Chartwells I have been impressed; the team has always made it clear that they want to work with us rather than imposing a set formula and it has always been a partnership of collaboration and co-operation. Chartwells has helped us to move forward on our healthy food initiative and we believe that as a result of our relationship, Bryanston is at the cutting edge of catering."
