School provider Innovate Services has launched a special six-week promotion across all of its 75 secondary schools, academies and college restaurants this week, introducing four new product ranges to its Simply Fantastico Italian offering - all designed by the popular Italian chef Gino D’Acampo.  

Students will be able to sample a range of new Italian dishes, including plated ‘pasta buonissimo’, ‘mamma’s pizza’, calzone pizza pockets and ‘nonna’s treats’ cakes and desserts. Students who purchase dishes from one of these ranges will automatically receive a slip to enter a prize-draw to win a signed cookery book or an apron from D’Acampo, with winners drawn at the end of the six-week promotion. One lucky school will also win the grand prize of having Gino visit their school to cook lunch for them.   

 D’Acampo said: “I am very excited to introduce four brand new ranges to Innovate’s ‘Simply Fantastico’ menu offering students the chance to try some tasty new options.  All have been created using authentic fresh ingredients and, in addition to some beautiful hot dishes, I have also introduced a choice of desserts which are based on traditional recipes.  The students will just love them!”

Derick Martin, co-founder and CEO, Innovate Services added: “We are excited to launch this promotion across all our schools, which not only introduces some exciting new dishes but offers students the chance to potentially win some great prizes.   Gino D’Acampo has designed four fantastic new ranges for Innovate, which includes authentic pizza recipes and also some new sweet treats, such as traditional Pannacotta and three Tiramisu servings.   

"Since launching Gino’s Simply Fantastico pasta at our schools, we have received excellent feedback and now, with this special promotion, we are confident that students are ready to try some brand new flavours along with the dishes they are familiar with, such as pizza - and they can enjoy the chance to win some great prizes.”
