Article Abstract:

ARAMARK Canada Pres Peter McCawley said changing its name from Versa Services to ARAMARK was a big help in changing people's perception about what the company has to offer. McCawley added his company has been offering cleaning services for 30 years but people saw it purely as a foodservice company. Marketing VP Gren Norton also remarked that the ARAMARK name gave the organization a much wider platform to deal from. There were many limits to how many non-food services they could offer under the Versa name.
