FISHER CATERING

Now known as Fisher Services, the company has been sold. 

The sale went through in November last year when the company was bought by ‘Compass’, a company registered on the London Stock Exchange.

Fisher Services was the largest privately owned catering company in Australasia and has been purchased by the world’s largest food service company.

Fisher Services will still trade under its own name and is the only company that is owned by Compass in New Zealand.  The total company turns over £5 billion per annum and has an employee total of around 135,000.

This gives Fisher Services a huge resource to draw from as well as calling on experts in their field to assist and support future growth in the Pacific Region.

BELLAMYS

Fisher Services has successfully retained the catering contract at Parliament after a public tender that was called by Parliamentary Services.

Although Fisher Services has been operating Bellamy’s for the past six years under a management fee structure, the new Terms and Conditions have changed so that Fisher Services carries all the trading risks.

Part of the changes to the operation is that of service standards with a greater regard to customer expectations and a major shift in culinary focus with the emphasis on a cuisine de lite style cooking, minimising as much fat content as possible and offering a nutritious, balanced meal composition.

Bellamy's is the name given to the whole complex that incorporates a range of different units.  The name Bellamy's is derived from John Bellamy who was head Housekeeper of Westminster, London, in 1773.  The New Zealand Parliament is the only Parliament that still associates with the use of Bellamy's name.  New Zealand Parliament has used the name Bellamy's for their food and beverage since 1867.
