Case Studies

  • Name: Annabel Thompson
  • Role: Mobilisation Manager

"Having completed my degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management at Oxford Brookes University, I was looking for a company with the breadth of opportunity for me to put the theory I'd learned into practice. The graduate training course at Sodexho certainly fitted the bill. I'd worked for them previously at the Stella Artois tennis tournament, so I knew they were a very professional outfit and I was impressed by the diversity of their offering - not to mention their commitment to investing in people. My stints in Purchasing, HR and Sales gave me a great overview of the business and helped me enormously when I came to roll out a new concept for the staff restaurants at JP Morgan where I'm currently based."
