The 2016 FAB Awards
Fast Food/QSR Quick Service Restaurant of the Year 2016
The Fast Food / QSR of the year award was won by LEON at Heathrow Airport. The core Leon experience – and menu – is fully international. Traditional fast food at pass-through destinations is no longer viable: these days, travellers are searching for healthy nutritional fare when they’re on the go. An airport environment such as Heathrow Terminal 2, gives HMSHost International the opportunity to realise and encourage a true cultural space where different people, worlds, and cuisines converge. The Sense of Place, an atmosphere inspired by aviation, strengthens the feeling that guests are travelling. By harmonising with the needs of the passengers passing through the terminal, HMSHost takes into account, amongst other things, the different nationalities, customer profiles and parts of the day, plus the operational efficiency and speed of service.
Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative of the Year 2016
The Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative of the Year award was won by Autogrill/HMSHost International for The Tenth Year of Sustainability Report. The CSR strategy of the Group is taking care of employees and travellers by anticipating their expectations and needs, by supplying excellent services and by taking social and environmental aspects into account with the purpose of generating value to be shared with all the stakeholders.
