The decision to bring in a company to help support your organisation is never lightly made. You need to be certain that they will not only deliver an excellent service but that they will also understand your organisation and its values. The Mount Charles Group was initially founded in 1988 by owner and Chairman Trevor Annon as a catering company. More than 25 years later and employing over 1750 people, it is now one of Ireland’s largest indigenous support service organisations, providing a range of services including catering, vending and cleaning. “The company has grown organically over time by working in partnership with our clients.” comments Trevor. “It was a natural progression for us to extend our services in line with their changing needs- passing on the cost saving and productivity benefits of working with one single supply partner. As a local company, we have an innate knowledge and understanding of our clients’ organisations and what is important to them that the big international branded companies cannot so easily offer. For example, 85% of our fresh produce is sourced from growers and producers in Northern Ireland so, when we say we use local produce, you know exactly what that means! The Mount Charles group now supports some of the most prestigious organisations in Northern Ireland and has clients from across the business & industry, healthcare, education and retail sectors. It is our intention to go on growing as they grow, extending our range of services and the reach of our market place to ensure we continue to provide innovative and cost effective solutions to meet and exceed their needs. We are proud of our heritage, of the long standing relationships we have with our clients and of our teams who consistently deliver the excellent service that our clients have come to associate with the Mount Charles Group.”

About Mary's Meals: Mary's Meals began in Malawi in 2002 after its founder Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow met a young woman called Emma who was dying from AIDS. She was sitting on the mud floor of her hut surrounded by her children. When Magnus asked her 14-year-old son, Edward, what his dreams were in life, his stark reply was: "To have enough food to eat and to go to school one day". This was a key part of the inspiration that led to the Mary's Meals campaign. Mary's Meals, which began feeding 200 children in one school in Malawi in 2002, now reaches 1,257,278 children with a daily meal in their place of education in 15 countries, including Malawi, India, Kenya, Lebanon, South Sudan, Haiti, Syria and Ethiopia. By providing a daily meal in a place of education, Mary's Meals encourages chronically hungry children into the classroom - often for the first time - where they can gain an education that can provide a route out of poverty. It costs just $19.50 to feed a child for a whole school year through Mary's Meals. The charity is committed to keeping its costs low and spends at least $.93 cents of every $1 donated on its charitable works.
