Tony Byrne, managing director, Chartwells, added: "We are delighted to be working with Coventry University. We have worked really hard to develop an offer that meets the needs of both students and staff and look forward to working in partnership with the University to create an amazing food court, providing the perfect dining environment for the University and offering a wide range of great tasting food."
