Our people
Transforming school mealtimes into positive, memorable moments

The people behind the purpose
Creating food experiences that help pupils thrive
Our people understand what it takes to provide a service that doesn’t just feed children, but helps schools and pupils to perform better. We put pupil health and wellbeing front and centre of every decision. We build long-term partnerships based on openness, honesty and trust, with clear communication. Every school is different and we respond to that and flex our service to each school’s culture, community and timetable.
The experience
At AiP, we are united by a one-team family ethos, sharing a passion and pride in providing fantastic school meals.
All our research, menu development and operational processes are designed with the needs of pupils and education environments in mind. Whether that’s working with chefs and pupils to create dishes that delight, sourcing sustainably or collaborating with clients to ensure value for money, everything we do is designed to bring creativity, heart and quality to school meals.
