Moderna’s state-of-the-art research, development and manufacturing facility will produce mRNA respiratory vaccines and aims to help the UK prepare for future pandemics. 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.
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.
Eurest says it is committed to delivering healthy and exciting dishes to power teams, designed by its culinary experts with seasonality in mind and sustainably prepared using fresh ingredients. From responsible sourcing to pioneering the use of eco-labelling, Eurest says it takes environmental responsibility seriously, without ever compromising on taste.
Sam Mitchell, contract director at Eurest, said: “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.”
