Two specialist brands
Performing with heart
Medirest and Medirest Signature sit at the heart of Compass Group UK and Ireland.
Together, we deliver the essential support services that help healthcare environments run smoothly, safely and with care.
From NHS hospitals to private healthcare providers, our people make a meaningful difference every day by creating spaces where patients, visitors and employees feel valued and supported.
Our foundation in care
For over 30 years, Medirest has been the specialist healthcare services division of Compass Group UK and Ireland. We have built our reputation through partnership with the NHS, developing the protocols, systems and standards that underpin our services today.
Every year, our teams clean more than 1.6 million square metres of hospital space, serve over six million meals and deliver the portering, logistics and security that keep hospital life running efficiently. More than 10,000 colleagues across the UK work with skill, care and dedication, bringing consistency and compassion to every setting.
Our success comes from one simple belief: patients should always be at the heart of what we do. That’s reflected in the quality of our cleaning, the warmth of our catering, and the calm, professional support our teams bring to every hospital corridor.
Supporting the NHS
Medirest
Medirest is trusted by NHS Trusts across the country to deliver vital soft FM services that help clinical teams focus on what matters most, patient care. We understand the complexity of healthcare operations, and we deliver our services with precision, empathy and respect for the environments we serve.
Our expertise spans patient and resident catering, cleaning, logistics, portering, switchboard, helpdesk and security. Each service is backed by robust management systems, advanced technology and a commitment to continuous improvement to ensure safe, clean and well-run hospitals that put patients first.
Enhancing private healthcare
Medirest Signature
Medirest Signature brings our deep healthcare experience into the private sector, where every detail matters. We combine professional service with a hospitality-led approach to create environments that feel calm, welcoming and personal.
From elevated dining experiences to refined front-of-house support, Medirest Signature delivers the same reliability and expertise as Medirest, shaped to suit the expectations of private hospitals and premium healthcare facilities. Our focus is on creating memorable experiences that complement exceptional clinical care.
A shared commitment
Together, Medirest and Medirest Signature support the full spectrum of healthcare in the UK, from large NHS Trusts to private hospitals and clinics. Though the settings may differ, our purpose remains the same: to deliver outstanding support services that combine performance with heart.
We are proud to stand alongside healthcare professionals, supporting them in their mission to care for others with integrity, expertise and humanity at the core of everything we do.
This shared vision is shaped and guided by the people who lead us. Our leadership team brings deep experience across healthcare, hospitality and operational excellence, united by a passion for service and innovation.
