UK-based food services firm Compass Group today said it has acquired two firms, Vipul Facility Management Pvt Ltd (VHM) and Ultimate Hospitality Services Pvt Ltd (UHS), in India for an undisclosed sum.
While VFM is a Delhi-based firm in providing services mainly in the real-estate sector, UHS is a food services firm headquartered in Hyderabad.
"We are delighted with these acquisitions.

Following these acquisitions, Compass Group will now have service clients across 44 cities in India, it added.
"Both the companies provide an excellent platform for the further development of Compass Group across India," it said.
The addition of these businesses further strengthens our ability to offer clients a broader range of food and support services across India, he added.
