Global biotech and pharma company Moderna has awarded a catering and hospitality contract to Compass Group business and industry (B&I) division Eurest at its manufacturing and R&D facility at the Moderna Innovation and Technology Centre (MITC) in Oxfordshire.
Located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, Moderna’s state-of-the-art facility was officially opened in September by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting MP, and will produce mRNA respiratory vaccines as the UK prepares for future pandemics.
Having provided food services for Moderna’s temporary office space at Harwell during construction of the MITC, as part of the new contract Eurest will deliver a nutritionally balanced breakfast and lunch offer for Moderna’s 150 staff, plus the option of 24-hour self-service for manufacturing colleagues working across all shifts.
The deal is Eurest’s fifth contract win at Harwell Campus in 18 months, following partnerships with Catapult Satellite Applications, European Space Agency and SNAP.
Sam Mitchell, Contract Director at Eurest, says: “We’re excited to be working with Moderna and to expand our services within the Harwell community.
This new contract represents organic business growth, building on the strength of our existing partnerships and reputation at Harwell.
“This new partnership also marks an exciting phase of development for our team, with Keith Wallace stepping into a new challenge as Chef Manager at Moderna.
His progression highlights our commitment to nurturing internal talent while delivering an exceptional service for our clients.”
Eurest's commitment to delivering healthy, seasonal and exciting dishes includes sustainably prepared fresh ingredients, responsible sourcing and pioneering the use of eco-labelling.
