BT Murrayfield extends 22-year partnership with Elior UK
Abstract
Elior UK, the contract catering company which operates across schools, hospitals, the care sector and the MOD, has been given an extension to its contract with BT Murrayfield that will establish a 22-year partnership between the two.

BT Murrayfield, the ‘home’ of Scottish Rugby, has extended its contract with Elior for a further five years until June 2031. The stadium offers up to 28 conference spaces and is one of Edinburgh’s largest banqueting areas.

Dominic McKay, Scottish Rugby’s Chief Operating Officer, said: “The extension of our contract and relationship with Elior is great for Scottish Rugby and Scottish Rugby Hospitality.

“This long-term relationship has allowed us to redevelop the suites and ensure that we can carry on offering a consistent high-quality service to our customers and will take the matchday and visitors experience at BT Murrayfield to a whole new level.” 

Since Elior started to work with BT Murrayfield it has grown conference and events revenues by 75%, increased average customer dwell time by 21 minutes, 'rocketed' retail spends by 137% and delivered match day customer satisfaction ratings of 98%.   

Kenny Finlayson, managing director of Elior UK, added: “Our relationship goes well beyond that of the traditional client and supplier - the entire Elior team feels part of the Scottish Rugby family. We’ve worked in partnership to deliver a first class offer based on customer experience.  

“To align with the vision and values of Scottish Rugby, we’ve transformed our brand from the Murrayfield Experience to Scottish Rugby Hospitality, better representing the entire service and atmosphere we provide together with the Scottish Rugby team. We’re thrilled to be growing our businesses together at this fantastic venue.”  

Elior has won ‘prestigious’ awards in recent years at the Best Specialist Entertainment Venue Awards.
