Compass Group has invested in its Birmingham workspace for Eurest and 14forty employees, in a refurbishment focussed on wellbeing and nutrition.
Employees at caterer Eurest and facilities management service provider, 14forty, both part of Compass Group UK & Ireland, can now enjoy a brand-new reception and restaurant, new meeting booths fitted with comfortable soft seating and digital screens.
There is also a 24-hour unmanned "micro-market" in a smaller building where employees can help themselves to nutritious food at any time of day.
Located in the city’s Rednal area, the facility houses over 400 people working in HR, finance and facilities teams. It is located close to both companies’ Northern and Midlands-based clients.
The restaurant, branded and operated by Eurest, features brand new tables, seating and counters. The menu includes healthy salads, freshly-made sandwiches and dishes from Eurest’s plant-based Plantilicious range (e.g. ‘chilli non-carne’). However, there are also traditional options such as fish and chips, as well as premium-branded coffee offers.

Click and Collect for COVID Safety
Eurest’s new Birmingham restaurant also offers a large grab and go range and is equipped with Time2Eat, an app that enables employees to reserve their meal and seat or click and collect if preferred. These measures will help mitigate COVID and ensure employees still working from home feel safe returning to the office.
Liz Forte, Health & Wellness Director at Eurest, said: “Our aim was to showcase Eurest and 14forty’s ability to create and operate collaborative workspaces, as well as support employee wellbeing and nutrition through delicious, healthy food and beverages.
“So, we carried out a refit and now have a beautifully renovated site where we can proudly take our clients, as well as host innovation and training sessions. Our employees are pleased to work there, and you can sense the positive impact it has already had on team spirit and morale, which naturally benefits our business, too.”
