Elior achieves Princess Royal Training Award

Elior UK recently achieved a Princess Royal Training Award for its commitment to outstanding employee training and learning best practice. The caterer was commended for its extensive development programmes, which are inspiring staff to excel and therefore boost business performance.

This year, HRH Princess Anne, president of City and Guilds Group, recognised a select group of public and private sector organisations of all sizes across a wide range of industries, such as BAE Systems, The Co-op, The Royal Navy and IBM UK Ltd. The judges said they were impressed by Elior’s in-house Chef School and its 90 different learning opportunities.

Matt Jennings, learning and development business partner for Elior UK, said: “We’re delighted to receive this award recognising the hard work that goes into developing and inspiring our employees. At Elior, we know our business success is dependent on engaged and motivated individuals, forming expert teams that create exciting food and service for our diverse clients. This is why we continue to create new, interactive learning experiences, inspiring them to be the best they can be.”

Elior is now part of a Community of Excellence made up of over 150 employers recognised through the Princess Royal Training Awards. This has proved extremely valuable for previous winners, who have reported increased investment into training programmes, improved recruitment and retention and more.
