Perkee coffee was created by award-winning workplace contract caterer, BM.

BM was born on a fine summer night, with passionate foodie people, two loaves, five fishes and a chilled Sancerre. If Perkee had been created at the time, no doubt the meal would have commenced with a Perkee espresso martini!

BM’s vision was to run a catering company that respects and values its clients, and keeps its team and ‘Fundamentally Food’ principles at its heart.

BM’s culture is based on the personalities of the founders, Wendy Bartlett and Ian Mitchell. They are entrepreneurial foodies, with the energy, creativity and initiative you expect from natural entrepreneurs. Together, they’ve created a company of like-minded people, who enjoy building strong, long-term relationships with clients.

Fresh ideas every time

Because BM is an entrepreneurial business, there is no one-size fits-all template. Their catering focuses on tailor-made solutions using innovation. BM develop bespoke ideas to match client’s culture, customers’ taste and the physical workplace environment.

They also recognise the importance of value for money. They are a tight, agile team who develop solutions that reduce costs and use resources more smartly.

Where BM is now…

BM has grown steadily to a team of over 800 experienced foodies, serving 40,000 customers every day in nearly 100 locations in London and the South East.

With a 98% client retention rate, they run contracts with businesses across a broad range of sectors, including finance, legal, media and technology.

Sustainability and ethics underpin everything they do – from sourcing responsibly and reducing waste to supporting communities.

And have been awarded the Sustainable Restaurant Association’sSustainable Caterer of the Year’ Award three years in succession.
