3 FED BY ENTHUSIASM FOR FOOD AND EVERY OTHER FACET TOO Our sole focus is food it s provenance, preparation and provision. With origins going back to 1990, and with some 2,500 food fanatics in the team, we currently support more than 150 customers in the UK, serving up everything from great coffee, soups, sandwiches and British classics, all the way to superfood salads and fine dining. We create signature solutions: one-of-a-kind eateries, imaginatively matched to the needs of our customers by mixing elements of people, place and plate to forge the optimum food offer for each customer. Autograph means a place where fresh, seasonal and imaginative food is married to warm, enthusiastic and authentic hospitality, underwritten by principled provenance, local sourcing and genuine sustainability. Wholesome and wholehearted, we tailor every element of every eaterie to best serve the people we cater for. We start with great, seek out better and constantly push to make every facet of delivery the very best it can be. 3

MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES It is important to us that, within our wider remit to help nourish people by serving and feeding them well, we encourage customers to enjoy a healthier lifestyle.

4 MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES It is important to us that, within our wider remit to help nourish people by serving and feeding them well, we encourage customers to enjoy a healthier lifestyle. Food can affect how people feel, how they cope, their energy levels during the day and how they sleep at night. So what they eat really does matter. That can be as simple as our sourcing of fresh, natural ingredients when they are in season and at their best. Or it can be more specialised: introducing ranges that are gluten free and low in salt, sugar and fat. Calorie counted dishes are also a great option, and we have an exciting 500-calorie concept that balances healthy choices and home cooked treats. From powering up in the morning with a comforting and slow-release porridge, to an enticing salad bar of healthy temptations, our chefs are skilled in demonstrating that nutritionally balanced can still mean amazingly flavoursome. 4

CREATING YOUR VERY OWN SIGNATURE SOLUTION Each solution we create for our customers is a signature blend of three essential ingredients: people, place

We bring the support, mentoring, training, encouragement, rewards and recognition that inspire people to do the best work of their careers.

Everything we can influence, we do, creating inviting, on-trend environments that meet our customers needs to relax, refuel and interact.

5 CREATING YOUR VERY OWN SIGNATURE SOLUTION Each solution we create for our customers is a signature blend of three essential ingredients: people, place and plate. PEOPLE Good people are our heart and soul, so we invest in the best. Our people bring a great attitude, conviction and talent. We bring the support, mentoring, training, encouragement, rewards and recognition that inspire people to do the best work of their careers. PLACE Food is a sensory pleasure, so even if people are just grabbing a coffee to go, place and space matter. Everything we can influence, we do, creating inviting, on-trend environments that meet our customers needs to relax, refuel and interact. PLATE Our chefs are enthusiastic about feeding people with nutritious, seasonal and well-sourced ingredients. Freshly prepared, everything we serve from finger food to great British staples comes as much from the heart as it does from the oven. 5

6 PEOPLE FED BY ENTHUSIASM Our little heart doodle and the words fed by enthusiasm express what we expect of ourselves and of everybody that becomes part of Autograph. We are, at heart, all about heart: about conviction and care; about enthusiasm and energy; about the wholesome and the wholehearted. This doesn t come about by accident. We have a board of food fanatics and a field of craft trainers, inspiring and leading a new generation of people to join the industry we love. Local and creative teams bursting with ideas for food, service, nutrition, engagement and improvement. We firmly believe happy people create success, not the other way round. The secret isn t simply to recruit happy people, but to provide all the support and encouragement that talented and ambitious people need to succeed, grow and ensure our enthusiasms reach every customer and every customer s taste buds. We have a mission to do things differently, to be better tomorrow than today and to create the kind of places where we would want to go and eat. That s the Autograph way. 6

By walking in your shoes, listening intently to you and your colleagues and meeting your specifications while bringing new ideas to the table, we can re-imagine the space you have and redefine what is possible. From consulting and concepting, to design, construction and fit-out, we blend a wealth of exciting ingredients into an imaginative, efficient and engaging whole. 8

This approach seeks to close the loop on sourcing, production, consumption and disposal strategies contributing to a carbon-neutral benchmark. It s everything from reducing packaging waste and supporting Fair Trade and Direct Trade partnerships, to encouraging local production, writing executive wellbeing plans, promoting waste consciousness and much more.

17 A MATTER OF PROVENANCE Although we trade as Autograph, we are an Interserve company. It s a provenance that enables us to bring more to the table, supported by the power and resources of one of the world s leading support services companies. It s a mix of ingredients that we believe is hard to match on paper, or in the kitchen. An ambitious leadership team steeped in food and hospitality, a clear vision to create signature catering solutions as unique as each customer, all complemented by demonstrably successful business processes, standards and a set of values that encourage ingenuity at work. Competitive intelligence, a sector leading SustainAbilities commitment, and rigorous health and safety are just a few of the benefits of being a part of Interserve. Being imaginative and serving up fresh ideas alongside fresh food are just a few of the others. 17
