Australia-based Cater Care has been awarded the national catering and facility management services contract for mineral sands miner Iluka Resources.

The contract includes the catering, accommodation and facility management services at four of Iluka’s Australia sites.

Cater Care’s remote division has already worked at Iluka’s Jacinth-Ambrosia (South Australia, pictured) and Ouyen (Victoria) mines and, with this contract, will add Cataby and Eneabba to its Western Australia contract portfolio.

Chief Operating Officer of Cater Care’s remote division, Denis Andre, said: “Our integrated approach to service delivery means we focus on all aspects of remote life, which we know has its own unique set of requirements. It’s also why we believe we’ll add real value to their two new sites.”

Iluka Head of Business Development Julian Andrews said Cater Care’s submission showed a good understanding of the market and presented a solution that met Iluka’s business requirements.

“Cater Care’s submission to bring all of our remote site catering, accommodation and facility management services under one contract was the best we received. Cater Care have shown a commitment to delivering high quality food and services at Jacinth-Ambrosia and Ouyen for the last 10 years and we look forward to that continuing at Cataby and Eneabba,” he said.
