Clifton College retains catering contract with Sodexo

We are delighted to announce that Independents by Sodexo will continue to provide meals for the 1,255 students at Clifton College, with a new menu ready to be implemented when the pupils return in September for the start of the next academic year.

The new menu has been developed to further encourage the adoption of a healthy, sustainable diet and has been designed to spark a genuine interest in the food they are eating.

Sodexo was first awarded the contract in 2017 and will also continue to provide catering at the college’s events, and hospitality packages for various external functions held at the college.

The demand for hospitality has increased at Clifton College and Sodexo now has a dedicated hospitality manager with a team of three to deliver menus for the range of events held here.

Steve Hawkins, Managing Director, schools for Sodexo UK & Ireland, said: “The retention of this contract is testament to the strong relationship our team has developed with the College. We have placed an emphasis on continuous improvement and innovation within the contract particularly in the area of the hospitality offer which will help the College realise its commercial objectives in generating revenue from external events and functions which the College can reinvest for the benefit of its students.”

Gemma Rudrum, Director of Corporate Services at Clifton College, added: “Independents by Sodexo has proven to be a trusted partner to the College, enabling us to realise the commercial potential of our wonderful Grade II listed buildings and exquisite grounds. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with Sodexo and boosting the opportunities to host some wonderful events.”

We look forward to continuing our relationship with Sodexo and providing healthy, sustainable meals to all of our pupils and staff.
