Alistair Dale has been appointed as the Managing Director for ISS’s Education business.
ISS Education is a £60 million business that provides facility services to higher and further education establishments and catering services to circa 450 primary and 50 secondary schools across England, serving approximately 100,000 meals every day.
Dale has worked for ISS for over 28 years, most recently as Finance Director and interim Managing Director for ISS’s Government business. During his tenure at ISS, he has predominantly worked within the Healthcare and Defence segments, but also notably managed the acquisition of Caterhouse Ltd. (the Education catering business into ISS) in 2007.
In the past eight months, Dale has led the ISS Government business and was instrumental in the recent contract extension with the Government Property Agency. It was announced last week that Catherine Horne will take over the position of Managing Director for ISS’s Government business. Previous Managing Director for ISS’s Education catering business, Steve Kemp, is retiring in June.
Speaking about his new appointment, Dale said: “I’m thrilled to be taking on the position as lead of ISS’s Education business in the UK. I’m excited to be working in the Education sector again and looking forward to being able help educational establishments evolve their learning environments for students, now and in the future.”
Martin Burholt, Chief Operating Officer at ISS UK & Ireland, commented: “We are delighted that Alistair Dale is stepping into the position of Managing Director for ISS’s Education business. Alistair’s strong commercial background and deep knowledge of ISS’s business will bring new added value for our Education customers.”
