Morley said: “I’m delighted to join the Elior team here at Scottish Rugby. For the last 10 years, Elior has showcased Murrayfield as a symbol of national pride, cooking up the best of Scottish produce for fans and hospitality guests – growing both conference and events revenues and retail spend.

“My ambition is to continue to increase profitability and grow the business, working with the team on a raft of new exciting opportunities.”

The news of Morley’s appointment as venue director comes at the same time BT Murrayfield has extended its catering contract with Elior UK for a further five years until June 2031 – making the partnership a 22-year deal.
