Case Study:
NHS Golden Jubilee Enhances Hygiene and Sustainability with Celebration Packaging’s Zero-Touch Wooden Cutlery Dispensers
Overview
The NHS Golden Jubilee catering team has recently introduced Celebration Packaging’s innovative Zero-Touch Wooden Cutlery Dispensers across their canteen areas — improving hygiene, organisation, and sustainability within their foodservice environment.
Background
The journey began when the Kitchen Team Leader from NHS Golden Jubilee met Claire Gray, Celebration Packaging’s Key Account Manager, at a foodservice exhibition. During the event, the wooden cutlery dispensers immediately stood out for their modern design and practical functionality, offering an elegant way to keep cutlery tidy and easily accessible.
The Solution
Following an engaging discussion, Claire demonstrated the dispensers’ unique zero-touch mechanism, which ensures that users only handle the cutlery they take — a crucial hygiene advantage for high-traffic catering environments like hospitals.
Impressed by the design and functionality, the NHS Golden Jubilee team arranged a site demonstration, allowing the wider catering team to see the units in action. The feedback was unanimous: the dispensers offered an ideal blend of efficiency, cleanliness, and visual appeal.

Implementation and Results
Three dispensers have now been installed beside the hospital’s till stations. Since their introduction, they have:
Enhanced the overall look of the canteen area — making it smarter, tidier, and more modern
Improved hygiene standards through the zero-touch dispensing system
Supported the hospital’s commitment to sustainability by reducing waste, as customers only dispense the cutlery they need to use
Customer Feedback
“The dispensers are a fantastic addition — they look great, are easy to use, and really help maintain hygiene and organisation in our canteen areas.”
— Kitchen Team Leader, NHS Golden Jubilee
Conclusion
The collaboration between NHS Golden Jubilee and Celebration Packaging demonstrates how innovative product design can positively impact hygiene, sustainability, and aesthetics in healthcare foodservice operations.
