Why do you think those names are any more similar than, say, British
Railways, British Airways and British Waterways? Or C&A and B&Q? Or the
AA and the FA?

Because...

1. Their logos use similar colours, as I recall.
2. "xx Gourmet" strikes me as a less generic, and more trademarkable,
brand compared with "British" something or something "Association".
That said, all of the "British" organisations you note once were (or
in the latter case still are) nationalised and therefore were
connected.

It's part of Compass Group

Dunno whether it was part of the same group in the past, though.
