Compass Group PLC
 PROFILE
This compass will lead your stomach to food. Compass Group is the world's second-largest food service company (behind Sodexho Alliance), with operations in more than 70 countries. It provides contract catering and concession services at airports, hospitals, rest areas, and schools. Compass also operates some 5,000 eateries such as Upper Crust and Ritazza, and franchises a number of Burger King and TGI Friday outlets. In addition, the company provides corporate food services for clients like France Telecom, Ford, and IBM. In 2000 Compass merged with UK hospitality giant Granada Group. But the new Granada Compass decided to demerge in 2001, making Compass Group public again. Compass then sold the leftover Le Méridien hotel chain to Japanese investment firm Nomura International.
