Morgan Lovell, the UK’s leading office refurbishment specialist, recently awarded BETTAquip contracts to improve the staff dinning facilities for two multinational companies.
Genzyme
Genzyme, a world leading pharmaceutical company, recently had their staff restaurant refurbished. The refurbishment formed part of a complete office renovation at Genzyme’s Haverhill site which accommodates more than 300 employees.
BETTAquip’s design brief was to improve the staff dining aesthetics and service flow whilst optimising the space available.
The project included the design and installation of a bespoke vending zone to house a chiller, two microwaves, Vivreau water tap, vending machines, tray trolleys and a recycling area.
The bespoke housing created a complete service point and transformed the space from a collection of stand alone machines and waste bins into a desirable area for collecting a light bite or refreshment.
Work to the servery included the installation of a bespoke deli counter for the display and service of freshly prepared soup, sandwiches, baguettes and hot snacks. The counter improved the flow of service and the choice of food on offer for Genzyme’s employees and visitors.
Commenting on the complete refurbishment, Peter Millie, Genzyme’s senior facilities manager said: “I’ve worked in construction and facilities for most of my life. From my own experience I’d say that this project has gone smoothly. I think we achieved excellent value for money on this project.”

Visteon
Visteon, a global supplier of automotive components, had new staff dining facilities installed at their Corporate Office and Innovation Centre in Chelmsford, Essex.
Part of the decision to award the contract to BETTAquip was based on their capability to respond quickly and meet the challenges of a very fast programme.
BETTAquip’s proven track record to work effectively with Morgan Lovell and the end user also played a key part in being awarded the contract.
The contract formed part of a larger project which incorporated an entire new 30,000 square foot office development.
The scope of the works included the installation of a foodservice counter with a supporting preparation area. The curved front counter provided an attractive contemporary design which was carried through to the installation of a curved web bar in the dining area. The front counter was finished with Staron Aspen Glacier solid top and polished Walnut solid wood strips on Lime Formica Laminate panels. Drop-in units included a chilled multi-tier unit, a chilled deli and a glass top hot plate. The back counter was finished with Staron Sanded White Pepper solid top. An Xpression bean to cup coffee machine was also installed along with an Instanta water boiler and Amana combination Microwave oven. The preparation area included stainless steel work tables, refrigerators and Freezers, a sink unit and a sliding door wall cupboard
A short time frame of just six weeks from the initial enquiry to the completion of the project was the main challenge which BETTAquip had to meet.
Michael Hunt, project manager at Morgan Lovell said: “We awarded the contract to Bettaquip because they were able to respond quickly and could meet the challenges of a very fast programme. They also provided a very good “hands on” service working together with us and our Client to get the scheme and brief agreed. Finally Andy was able to use his extensive knowledge to challenge the Clients requirements and design a solution that meets the Clients and catering operator’s requirements”.
