Defence & Government - Catering, Cleaning & Support Services

For over 40 years ESS has been the market leader in Defence & Government support services. Through bespoke catering, cleaning and facilities management solutions we support the welfare of thousands of military, police and government personnel who carry out important work, often in challenging conditions.

The health and wellbeing of these specialist personnel is critical, that's why we have a team of registered nutritionists who work with our clients in defence to support them. We offer a portfolio of superior and sustainable soft services, including hotel, cleaning, waste management, security and reception services to ensure they are protected and looked after.

We provide life support services to the UK armed forces, operating integrated service streams through multi-activity contracts. From standalone catering contracts to multi-stream, integrated facilities management, we provide assurance that enables our clients to focus on their core business.

We are also constantly evolving the delivery model for our defence services, ensuring they have long-term sustainability and possess the inherent flexibility our defence clients require to meet their needs in an ever-changing landscape.

Our Government Services team was created to support the specialist nature of high-profile and secure contracts within areas such as the police, and central and local governments. We offer access to world-leading suppliers and innovation projects that deliver on-trend, value-for-money supplies.

For many of our clients, catering supports a portfolio of superior and sustainable soft services, including waste management, cleaning, security and reception services.
