Sodexo connects with Nokia win

The contract to provide a range of services including catering, cleaning, landscaping, mailroom and waste management begins at the end of July. It will see around 130 Sodexo employees providing services for the 3,000 Nokia employees based at ten building across the five sites including its UK head office in Farnborough as well as sites in Cambridge, London and Bristol. Sodexo was appointed by Corporate Occupier Solutions (COS); Nokia's managing agents, for the three-year contract with an option to extend a further two years. Sodexo already provides a wide range of services to the Nokia Corporation across the world including Finland, India, USA, Canada and China. Allister Richards, Sodexo's managing director for corporate services in London said: "This is a fantastic addition to our portfolio of global clients. The UK contract is just part of a wider €11 million contract awarded to Sodexo for Nokia's EMEA business with the other key countries being Denmark and Germany."
