Elior UK Wins Sports, Leisure And Events Catering Award
Leading Caterer, Elior UK, is proud to have been awarded the Sports, Leisure and Events Catering Award at the Contract Catering Awards held at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, Tower Bridge, on 27th March 2023.
This award was presented to Avneesh Sinha, Elior’s General Manager at BT Murrayfield, Scotland’s largest stadium and home of Scottish Rugby, in recognition of his achievements relating to finance, innovation, sales success, social responsibility, leadership and delivering change.
Avneesh and his team have faced considerable challenges over the last three years ranging from the impact of the pandemic – involving an imposed 18 months’ closure and then the implementation of strict Covid-19 restrictions – to significant labour and supply chain issues. Through his collaborative approach he worked closely with the client, suppliers and his team to successfully overcome these obstacles and develop the business.
Avneesh has continued to innovate, leading to record breaking sales successes, and took a leading role in delivering a range of sustainability commitments. Commenting on the win, Avneesh Singha said: “The last few years have been extremely tough for our industry and I am immensely proud to have been recognised for the part I have played. The team that supports me on a daily basis deserve huge recognition too for their support and loyalty in delivering world class events at BT Murrayfield Stadium.”
Kenny Finlayson, Managing Director for Stadia & Leisure for Elior UK, said: “We are thrilled to win this award which is testament to the dedication of Avneesh to overcome obstacles and successfully develop our stadia business. It is wonderful to see the wide range of colleague and client testimonials and for his hard work and commitment to be recognised in this way.”
