HEAR DIVERSE STORIES FROM OUR PEOPLE
“In winning the Stop Hunger’s Charity Champion of the Year, one initiative I’m particularly proud is our support for AberNecessities. They're a local Aberdeen-based charity that provides essential items, such as nappies, formula, warm clothing, toys, and school supplies, to children aged 0–18.”
Mackenzie, Business Development Manager
“Transitioning from an intern to a full-time Business Analyst has been an incredibly rewarding journey. This experience has not only sharpened my technical skills but also significantly boosted my confidence. Presenting to senior executives and contributing to exciting, high-impact projects has challenged me to grow both professionally and personally.”
Demi, Business Analyst
Joining Sodexo after her law degree, Elizabeth’s potential shone through after just six months. She now runs a network of workplace restaurants for a major transport client. She thought that maternity leave might hinder her career but was proved wrong more than once: “I returned to increased responsibility, first as a supervisor, then a chef manager, and ultimately, a catering area manager.”
Elizabeth, Compliance Manager
“I am so happy that I’ve found a role where I can grow my career and feel valued. My dream is to run my own sandwich shop one day, creating delicious sandwiches and building a sense of community. This role brings me one step closer to that goal.”
Tom, Catering Team
“To anyone considering the Aspiring Frontline Manager programme, I would highly recommend it. The programme offers a comprehensive blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, which is essential for anyone looking to advance their career in management.”
Marco, Cleaning Manager
“What excites me is that there is the potential to move around sites; I’ve seen that with my own chef manager’s experience. I would love to travel to other contracts; even cook in other countries. It’s a really good company to grow and learn in.”
Akeira, Catering Team
"When I started, I'd barely held a screwdriver. Now, just three months in, I've done everything from angle grinding and SDS drilling to installing cable trays and replacing light fittings. I've even got my MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform) course next week!"
Alice, Sodexo Apprentice – Facilities Management
“I’m so excited to see the team on site develop and grow, I feel we can make a difference here. It’s always about the patients—safe, dignified care is what matters most.”
Louise, Domestic Manager - Health and Care
"It just made me feel proud of myself that I was actually doing something. It was what I enjoyed. It's what I missed from the care home because it just… I couldn't go any further, but I knew with this, I could go further."
Carly, Sodexo Apprentice - Health and Care
"I have had the pleasure to work with many great Sodexo people who have supported and mentored me on my journey. FM careers are ever changing and that’s why it’s suited me so well. I get bored easily, but with the constant opportunities I’ve had there’s never been a dull moment."
