UK gas supplier BOC Sureflow has announced a three-year deal worth more than £4 million (€5.87m) to supply the Whitbread Group with dispense and balloon gas.

The deal will see BOC Sureflow supply the leading brands including TGI Fridays, Brewers Fayre, Beefeater, Brewsters, Pizza Hut, David Lloyd Leisure and the Whitbread Hotel Company with both dispensing and balloon gas.

Glyn Holland, major account manager at BOC Sureflow, said: "We offered Whitbread a tailor-made cellar equipment package, which includes a one-stop shop for dispense and balloon gas, coupled with safety and equipment packages."

BOC Sureflow already supplies a number of Whitbread brands with dispense gases and equipment, together with balloon gas and balloons. The deal means BOC Sureflow will supply 800 of the company's outlets across the UK.

The BOC Group, one of the world's largest gases companies, had annual sales of over £4 billion in 2002.
