Independent contract caterer, PINCH, has announced two major new contract wins as business growth across workplace catering, hospitality and events continues in 2026.
In January, PINCH officially launched operations at a major media broadcasting centre in London, delivering a full-service food and hospitality offer including a vibrant staff café, high-volume hospitality and dynamic event catering. The site is fast-paced and ever-evolving, perfectly suited to PINCH’s agile approach, fresh food ethos and passion for delivering standout customer experiences.
Alongside this, PINCH has signed an agreement with Kadans Science Partner (“Kadans”) to support the Company’s latest development in North Cambridge. Merlin Place, located in the cutting-edge Cambridge North Science and Business Cluster, is dedicated to advancing life sciences, health, data, tech, and sustainable innovation by fostering collaboration and creativity.
Opening later this year, the purpose-built facility will feature a modern cafe space run by PINCH, serving tenants within the development as well as welcoming members of the public. With its focus on innovation and research, and strong links to the local community, Merlin Place by Kadans represents an exciting opportunity for PINCH to bring its fresh, seasonal and customer-focused food offer to one of the UK’s most forward-thinking regions.
These two new contract wins reflect a strong trajectory for PINCH as the business continues to expand its footprint across premium workplace environments and destination spaces.
Katy Thompson, Founder and Managing Director of PINCH, commented: “We’re incredibly proud to be starting the year with two fantastic new partnerships. Both sites are brilliant examples of the kind of environments PINCH thrives in – fast-moving, people-focused and driven by quality. The media broadcasting centre has already been an exciting launch, and we can’t wait to bring the PINCH experience to Merlin Place in Cambridge later this year. It’s shaping up to be a hugely exciting year for PINCH, and we’re only just getting started.”
