Commencing in September 2022, Sodexo will continue to deliver catering and hospitality to the Trust’s three independent co-educational day schools based in Great Glen, Leicestershire. Menus at LGS focus on fresh, nutritious seasonal food and using the best of British fruit and vegetables when available.
Steve Hawkins, managing director (schools) at Sodexo UK & Ireland, said: “We are delighted to continue our partnership with LGS and look forward to supporting in the planned improvements LGS has in place for the catering facilities. Our team at LGS developed strong ties with the school and embraces LGS’ ethos and values every day and truly feel and act as part of the LGS family.”
To help students adopt a healthier diet Sodexo uses only lean cuts of meat, trimming all excess fat before cooking and only using rapeseed oil for cooking and olive oil for dressings. To reduce levels of salt in meals Sodexo uses herbs as an alternative to salt.
Stephen Jefferies, director of finance and operations at LGS added: “Sodexo’s team have been an incredible support over the last few years when we were all navigating the unusual circumstances the Covid-19 pandemic put us all in.
“We are delighted to extend the partnership; they continue to serve popular and delicious meals for our students and we welcome their approach to striving to do more whether educating and encouraging the take up of more plant-based dishes or bringing to life the importance a healthy lifestyle and diet can have on their performance in the classroom or on the sports field.”
