Sodexo has agreed to continue offering catering and several other services for the country’s armed forces in Cyprus and the Falkland Islands.
The company has extended its existing contract with the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) for an additional three years.
As part of the latest contract in Cyprus, worth £127.9m, the foodservice firm will assign a team of 775 employees to continue offering catering, cleaning, waste services and logistics support at six bases.
Sodexo initially signed this contract in 2007 and has been serving the British Armed Forces since then.
In addition, the company will continue to offer administration, catering, tailoring, laundry, dry cleaning, office and domestic cleaning services in the Falkland Islands. It has been offering services since 2001.
The company expects a turnover worth £16.3m from the extended contract. Sodexo has worked with the British military for more than thirty years, where it focuses on the wellbeing and quality of life of the Armed Forces and their families.
