Ampersand has won a five-year contract to be the catering partner for the British Medical Association (BMA).

Under the contract Ampersand will provide catering services to 29 individual event spaces, including courtyard and garden, at BMA House, the association’s conference and events venue and headquarters in Tavistock Square, London.

Ampersand will also provide catering for the newly refurbished 1832 Café and Restaurant.

Sarah Bright, head of events for BMA House, said the association was impressed by Ampersand’s versatile approach, which would accommodate the BMA’s wide range of needs.

“We believe Ampersand’s strong connections with healthy eating, led by award-winning nutritionist Amanda Ursell, provide the perfect fit with the BMA’s vision for a healthy nation, we are excited to be working with them,” she said.

Bright added that services from Ampersand’s sister company ITA, a venue booking service, would open up new market opportunities.

Ampersand is the specialist venue and visitor attraction catering division of CH&Co.
