A large number of contract catering jobs are likely to be created in parts of the UK, after a company picked up several major deals worth around £9 million.

Midlands-based operator Aspens Services has won a total of nine new school and academy contracts, meaning its staff will serve up an extra 1.9 million meals each year from September 2011.

Among the schools where contract catering jobs may be created are St Chad's Catholic and Church of England School in Runcorn, Cheshire, and Wolsgarton High School in Penkridge, Staffordshire.

John Roe, managing partner at Aspens Services, said the company was "thrilled" by the prospect of providing school meals for 10,000 new customers.

"We will be working closely with students and staff, focusing on the delivery of tailored, cost-effective food services which cater to their local needs and provide them with great-tasting food," he added.

Last month, contract catering jobs were created in Sheffield when Lindley Venue Catering won an £8.2 million deal to provide a range of services at the city's Hillsborough stadium.
