Sands Catering. 15 to 55 Shifts Per Week. Every Week. Since 2016.
A decade-long staffing partnership built so deeply into how Sands operates that our staff are now part of their team in every meaningful sense.
THE BRIEF
Sands Catering is a London catering company delivering workplace and corporate hospitality services across a wide network of office and corporate sites throughout the capital. Their operation spans multiple locations simultaneously, each with its own client base, its own rhythm and its own daily service requirement. Consistency of staffing across that network is not a preference. It is the operational foundation on which everything else rests.
Since 2016 Cube has been the primary staffing partner for Sands Catering, supplying front of house staff and chefs across their London portfolio on a regular ongoing basis.
The scale of the partnership is significant. On average Cube fills between 15 and 55 shifts per week for Sands, spread across multiple office and corporate catering sites throughout London. The majority of those sites are regular placements where the same staff return week after week, building a familiarity with the specific location, the client culture and the Sands service standard that a rotating team could never replicate.
The relationship has developed to a point where Sands proactively checks staff availability before finalising their weekly rotas, slotting in the Cube team members they know and trust according to the needs of each site. The Cube staff are not supplementary to the Sands operation. They are central to it.

Their staff are always professional, well-presented, and ready to step in and deliver to a high standard, no matter the situation. What really sets them apart, though, is their understanding of our business and the strong relationship we’ve built over the years — they truly feel like an extension of our own family. Communication is always smooth, last-minute requests are handled with care, and the quality of people they provide remains consistently excellent. It’s rare to find a partner you can trust for this long, and CUBE has proven time and again that they are exactly that.
