Eurest Sutcliffe, a division of the Compass Group, has won
a five year catering contract worth £11m with Motorola in Scotland,
securing 90 jobs for Eurest Sutcliffe.
The company is to cater for 200 employees at Motorola’s Brucefield
site and a further 4,000 employees at the Easter Inch site. The catering
operation is to be open 24 hours a day every week and includes the provision
of breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and other snacks, vending services
and hospitality facilities. The contract win follows the company’s
Investors In People (IIP) award for its operations at the Easter Inch
site in Bathgate.
Ian Park, Motorola's site services manager at the Easter Inch facility
said: "We are delighted Eurest Sutcliffe has retained the contract
and will continue to provide an effective, high quality service at both
our sites in Scotland. We have formed a very strong relationship with
the company and value the investment they have already shown in both operations.”
Alan Aitken, managing director for the Compass Group in Scotland and Northern
Ireland also commented: “This is wonderful news for the company and
of course, for the staff at both sites. We have worked hard to ensure
we deliver an effective, competitive and comprehensive service to our
clients. We have striven for excellence in all areas of the business including
training for employees, customer care and dining innovation to name but
a few. I am sure the operations at both sites will continue to be highly
successful.”
l Last week, Eurest Sutcliffe
was also chosen by British Energy and Sainsbury’s (see
News story) to supply FM services. The seven-year British Energy contract
is worth over £150m and the company believes it to be the largest
FM contract awarded in the UK this year. The agreement includes 78 specialist
services to British Energy’s 5,000 staff, from catering and vending,
building maintenance and car hire through to telecommunications, library
services and graphic design.
