Diageo, the global drinks company, has appointed Sodexo as its integrated facilities management partner in the UK and Ireland.
Sodexo will deliver a range of hard and soft services across 70 sites, from Diageo’s global headquarters in London to manufacturing plants and distilleries.
The service partner will take charge of planned and reactive maintenance, helpdesk, cleaning, catering, reception, hospitality and horticultural services, as well as management of Diageo’s brand stores and staff shops, as part of the three-year deal.
Neil Murray, Managing Director of Sodexo Corporate Services, said: “Sodexo places a great deal of emphasis on its quality of life proposition, for both our customers and employees, so it was deeply encouraging to see a clear alignment between our offer and Diageo’s strategy. Our shared values will enable us to support Diageo’s FM outsourced model, capturing best practice and driving innovation to deliver greater customer satisfaction.”
