Elior UK has agreed a 15-year catering deal worth £2.1 million a year with Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust.

Redevelopment of the trust’s retail and dining outlets will create 30 jobs, according to the business.

Under the new contract, Elior will revamp catering at Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby with an Eatwell restaurant, a ‘Proud To Serve Costa Coffee’ outlet, and a Londis shop. Another Eatwell restaurant and two kiosks serving Costa Coffee will be introduced at Scunthorpe General Hospital as well as a coffee outlet at Goole Hospital.

Elior is also set to launch vending suites at Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole and District Hospital. The redevelopment will “provide a wide selection of food and drink options to suit a range of budgets and tastes, from traditional British fare to global street food”.
