Serving goodness, every day
Our goodness brands focus on providing food that positively influences mood and cognition. The meals we serve are not only top-quality and bursting with delicious flavors, but research also indicates that they can enhance overall well-being.
In the realm of IFM Catering, prioritizing gut health, brain-boosting foods, and a balanced diet is essential. A well-rounded diet, packed with vital nutrients, is key to sustaining both physical health and cognitive function. Moreover, gut health significantly impacts overall well-being, as the gut microbiome affects digestion, immunity, and even mood.
By emphasizing gut health, brain-boosting foods, and balanced nutrition, IFM Catering provides delicious meals that enhance overall health and productivity across diverse workplaces and environments.
The delicous coffee brand doing good for communities
Groundhouse is our exclusive, signature coffee brand, featuring two exceptional blends. Blend 7 is a 100% Arabica mix from Central and South America, as well as Indonesia, celebrated for its rich, full-bodied flavor with notes of caramel and cocoa. Blend 3 boasts a robust flavor profile, highlighting dark chocolate and dried fruit undertones sourced from Fairtrade producers.
Beyond its exceptional flavor, Groundhouse plays a vital role in supporting the communities that produce our coffee. Through the Groundhouse Give Back initiative, a portion of every sale is reinvested to enhance the living standards of coffee growers. This initiative has raised tens of thousands of pounds, funding essential projects such as agricultural training and community outreach. These efforts improve food security and lower living costs for coffee-growing communities. Choosing Groundhouse is not just about enjoying premium coffee; it’s also about contributing to a meaningful cause.
