We are the leading provider of professional catering and cleaning services across East London and beyond.
All the team at Juniper are fully trained to ensure that they possess the skills and the tools to achieve the highest standards possible in their roles.
You can always be assured that all Juniper employees carry details of their enhanced DBS check along with the issue date and reference number and will be easily recognisable in their official Juniper uniforms.
We are proud to reward our staff well for the important jobs they do with all staff who work for Juniper in locations within the London Borough of Newham being paid the London Living Wage as a minimum. This is currently £10.55 per hour.
We will always support colleagues who wish to develop themselves and progress their careers. In fact many of our management team started their careers as cleaners or kitchen assistants – so they really have first hand experience of front line service delivery and customer care and the challenges that their teams may find themselves facing.
Whatever your service need may be we will be on hand to discuss them and find the perfect solution within the resources available and look for ways to continuously improve the service in the future. For schools we have a range of added value events and promotions for you to sample, for further information please read our brochure Juniper Ventures – Added Value Events. Please be sure to speak to us so that we can bring fun and entertainment as well as learning opportunities to your pupils.
We are represented in several trade associations to keep up to date with industry developments. Our Cleaning Management team are members of the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICS) and our Catering Management Team members of the Lead Association for Catering in Education (LACA) – in fact our Managing Director has just completed his year as National Chair of LACA – “the school food people” and has spent his time championing the important work that the sector carries out to reduce childhood obesity and improve pupil outcomes through a hot, healthy and nutritious meal each day by speaking at events and lobbying Government Departments and MPs.
‘The quality of food offered to our children and Staff is of a high standard and is well presented. We have strong working relationships with the team within school and management allowing for flexibility when needed – ensuring we meet the needs of all our stakeholders.’
Juniper Ventures are very proud of their current accreditations and recognition for the services they deliver to it’s customers. As well as being active members of LACA – the school food people and the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICS) we have recently received a reaccreditation for our Food for Life Catering Mark from the Soil Association and hand in hand with this we use wherever possible Fair-trade, Red Tractor products and fish only from sustainable sources. Additionally we hold the Compassion in World Farming’s Good Egg Award.
But we will never rest on our laurels and we have in recent months been awarded the Catering Management Team of the Year national award by LACA and in the coming months we will be seeking more recognition to show the pride we take in what we do and also highlight the excellent work our teams on the front lines are doing to improve the services we provide and ultimately the outcomes for our customers.
Peter and his staff always go above and beyond what is expected of them, they are always accommodating even at short notice. Their relationships to staff , visitors and particularly the students is exemplary. They are always happy in their work which is reflected in the welcoming atmosphere of the dining hall.
The students like the food which is always presented to a very high standard. In the words of one year 9 student “school dinners are better than my Mum’s dinners” which I think is praise indeed.
‘Following a comprehensive tender process, Juniper Ventures were awarded the contract after scoring highest on our balanced weighting of price and technical capabilities. Since the start of the contract, we have been very impressed by their rapid improvements to the cleanliness of our schools. The management team at Juniper impressed us with their hands-on commitment during the implementation and we would be very happy to recommend Juniper as a cleaning provider to other schools’
