Juniper celebrates workforce during National School Meals Week

10 Nov 2025
Juniper, a specialist provider of catering, cleaning and health and safety services to the education market, says it is proud to celebrate both Living Wage Week and National School Meals Week (10-14th November), two occasions that highlight the vital role people play in creating thriving school communities.

Juniper is supporting National School Meals Week, which celebrates the importance of healthy school food and the people who deliver it. By valuing and investing in its people across every service, Juniper continues to help schools provide safe, welcoming environments where every child can thrive.

As an accredited London Living Wage employer since 2016, Juniper ensures that all employees across catering, cleaning and health & safety receive at least the real Living Wage. This commitment remains central to Juniper’s belief that fair pay, respect and opportunity make communities stronger.

Michael Hales, chief executive of Juniper Ventures and chair of LACA, said: “This week we're celebrating our brilliant people – our kitchen teams, cleaning colleagues, and health and safety professionals who all play a vital role in making schools work.  

“The London Living Wage is about respect and recognition for the care and quality they deliver every day. Fair pay and good food go hand in hand, creating pride, purpose and stronger school communities.”
