Compass sees cuts as "opportunity to exploit"; expanding into wider support services‏

The Guardian says contract caterer Compass expects to benefit from the current slump as governments move towards outsourcing in an attempt to cut public deficits. It quotes chief executive Richard Cousins as saying: "In fields such as healthcare, education and defence, governments are under pressure to fix their balance sheets. It may take time; nothing is going to happen next week, but there are opportunities out there that we intend to exploit." http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/may/12/contract-caterer-compass-optimistic
