Contract caterer Elior has won a contract to deliver catering services for over 600 employees at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge.

Elior will provide catering services across breakfast and lunch within the main restaurant area for the laboratory’s research, support and contract staff. There will also be a grab-and-go shop offering sandwiches and cakes, a daily catering service to meeting rooms, and events catering for 20-200 people.

The Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology is a research institute dedicated to undertaking fundamental science research aimed at understanding important biological processes at the levels of atoms, molecules, cells, and organisms, gathering knowledge to solve key problems in human health. 

Claire Small, Director of Innovation at Elior, said: “We are thrilled to deliver our world-class catering services to such an important and diverse hub at LMB. This partnership is further evidence of the adaptive stance Elior takes with our diverse range of our clients.”

Dr Stephen Holmes, Head of Estates at The Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology added: “Our aim in looking for a provider was to find someone who could provide quality in contract delivery, food standards, and sustainability. Elior demonstrated a clear understanding of our needs and plugged in their own levels of technology and programmes that suited exactly what we were looking for. We’re all very excited for this partnership and look forward to this relationship, offering a great amenity to our hardworking employee base.”
