The contract caterer has pledged to raise £100,000 for the Alzheimer’s Society by the end of 2024 and so far Elior has raised £36,000. The charity dinner, raising £13,000 alone, is one of a sequence of Elior’s fundraising events with further activities already being planned for 2023.
Female chefs including Sarah Hayward, Romy Gill MBE and Claire Clark each designed a course for a menu that was re-created by Elior’s in-house chef team.
The evening closed with a live auction with prizes including:
- A five star stay for two at The Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh and boutique spa hotel The Cary Arms & Spa, Torquay, Devon
- Six Nations hospitality experience for two for Scotland v Italy at BT Murrayfield
- A bespoke private chef experience for ten guests with Peter Joyner, food development director and team manager of Craft Guild of Chefs Culinary Team
Catherine Roe, chief executive of Elior, commented: “Our commitment to the Alzheimer’s Society is incredibly important to me and I’m delighted we are well on our way to our three-year target of £100,000 to support the wonderful work that the Alzheimer’s Society does.
“Thank you to everyone that made this an incredibly successful and enjoyable evening and to all our Elior colleagues who continue to make a difference through their various fundraising efforts.”
