Leyland Trucks Ltd, one of the UK’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, has selected Sodexo UK & Ireland to continue to deliver catering and hospitality services for a further five years following the award of a new contract valued at around £4 million.
Sodexo has been Leyland Trucks’ food services partner at its 86-acre Leyland Assembly Plant in Lancashire for two decades, serving its 1,000-strong workforce with delicious, nutritious and sustainable meal options.
Under the new agreement, Sodexo will continue to serve Leyland’s workforce fresh, seasonal and affordable meals throughout the working day. The Sodexo team expertly serve a wide range hearty main meals, freshly cooked by its skilled chefs as well as smaller meal options such as salads, jacket potatoes and sandwiches.
Sodexo has grown into a vital part of our Leyland Trucks community.
Its dependable service and people-focused approach help ensure our teams feel supported and looked after every day.
Sustainability is a strategic priority for both organisations with the impact of the site’s operations on the environment a key focus. Sodexo’s catering team utilises the company’s WasteWatch data-driven programme to monitor, track and reduce food waste both in the kitchen and the restaurant at the site.
We are incredibly proud to extend our long‑standing partnership with Leyland Trucks.
It is a company with a long heritage not just in the local community but as a leading UK-based commercial vehicle manufacturer.
We look forward to continuing our partnership for another five years, building on our 20-year partnership which is rooted in trust, shared values and a real commitment to doing the right thing for people and the planet.
