Leading contract caterer, Elior UK has championed its finest employees in the 15th annual Elior Awards for Excellence. The glittering awards ceremony was part of a conference and a day of celebration and recognition.
Welcoming over 200 guests - including suppliers, clients and finalists – the awards ceremony celebrated talent and commitment across all divisions and regions of the business.
Guests were treated to a spectacular lunch, designed by this year's Elior UK Culinary Competition Grand Finalists, and once again they had the chance to select the winner of the You Made a Difference award in a live vote. The twelve employee accolades also included the Sustainability Contribution and Site Colleague of the Year awards.
