Francois Offshore Catering has been appointed to deliver catering and hospitality services at Stena Drilling’s head office in Aberdeen, marking the first time the company has provided a fully onshore corporate catering service.

The new contract builds on a long-established relationship with Stena Drilling across its offshore operations and represents a strategic expansion of Francois’s service offering from offshore to onshore catering.

Manisha Gupta, Head of Francois Offshore Catering, said: “Offshore catering and housekeeping are the foundation of our business, and this award reflects our ability to bring that same high standard of service into an onshore head office environment without compromise.

“Our teams have supported Stena Drilling offshore for many years, building a deep understanding of their operational expectations, from quality and safety to consistency and responsiveness in demanding environments.

“We value Stena Drilling’s continued trust in Francois and look forward to supporting colleagues in Aberdeen with a service built on care, professionalism and reliability.”

Under the agreement, Francois Offshore Catering provide a daily catering service for employees based at Stena Drilling’s Aberdeen headquarters, alongside hospitality catering to support meetings and internal events.

A Stena Drilling spokesperson said: “Stena Drilling is pleased to welcome Francois Offshore Catering to Ullevi House. We have worked with Francois across our offshore operations for many years and are familiar with the standards and approach they bring to their service delivery.

“Their move into our Aberdeen office environment has started positively, with good feedback from colleagues, and we look forward to continuing to work with the Francois team as they apply their catering and hospitality expertise in an onshore setting.”
