Global services company Sodexo has been delivering services for BAE System’s four Munitions locations since 2019. Sixty Sodexo employees have since developed a strong relationship at each of the four sites including Washington in Tyne & Wear; Radway Green in Crewe; Glascoed near Usk in south Wales and Hexham in Northumberland.
The services delivered by Sodexo include catering, cleaning, external landscaping, building maintenance and employee uniform at the Glascoed site. At Washington, Radway Green and Glascoed, Sodexo introduced its Kitchen Works Co food offer in 2022 to provide breakfast and lunch to BAE Systems 1,200 plus employees at each of the sites staff restaurants.
Sodexo has worked with BAE Systems to ‘transform and expand’ its catering services, introducing new on-site pop-up catering points across BAE Systems locations. Meals are now produced in one of eight kitchens, which provides an enhanced dining experience for employees, enabling them to come together to eat, meet and connect.
Tony Richards, Operations, SHE & Quality Director at BAE Systems Munitions, said: “Since the contract started in 2019 the Sodexo team has become an integral part of the BAE Systems team. Their unwavering commitment to ensuring the smooth running of our facilities and wellbeing of our people throughout the global pandemic and beyond is one of the reasons we decided to extend the contract.”
