SSP in the UK and Ireland

Some of our earliest roots were put down in the UK in 1966, when British Rail Catering, which would later go on to become SSP, was formed.

Sixty years on, SSP is the leading travel food provider in the UK & Ireland, operating at airports and railway stations across the countries. Our local portfolio includes own brands Upper Crust, AMT Coffee, Millie’s Cookies and Café Local, world-leading brands including Starbucks, BrewDog and Burger King, and national favourites M&S and The Breakfast Club.
