Sodexo is gifting its levy to help numerous hospitality workers in the hotel and catering industry as firms across the UK are facing recruitment issues due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The global services company will also help the London Ambulance Service and fund a staff member at a primary school in Salford.
Sean Haley, Sodexo’s regional chair for UK & Ireland, said: “As an organisation that serves the public in so many important ways, it is incumbent on us to operate with purpose and to create a positive social impact in the communities we serve.
“Our apprenticeship programme is incredibly important to us and we have committed to ensuring that all appropriate job roles and vacancies are considered as an apprenticeship.
“Being able to share this to such an extent with SMEs and not-for-profit organisations is truly a privilege and we wish each apprentice benefitting from this every success.”
