Side By Side is Aramark’s Defence and Judicial specialist sector. Side By Side team is a group of like-minded and empowered individuals, originally brought together in 2017 to manage the HESTIA contracts on behalf of the MOD. Combining years of experience gained in and outside of the soft FM environments with that of our clients, we work Side by Side as one team to deliver exceptional service to the UK’s Armed Forces across the UK. Since 2021 we now expanded the team to include Judicial contracts throughout the UK.
