We're delighted to be continuing our business partnership with @SodexoUK_IRE 💙 Over the last year, both Sodexo and Sodexo Live! have supported our Showcase Employer programme, hosting several industry visits for our trainees to get first-hand experience of contract catering outlets and have employed 24 of our graduates. As our Platinum Premium Tier @SBFutureChef sponsor, Sodexo’s Chef Ambassadors have guided and judged our FutureChef 2026 competitors through the local and regional finals. Maisie, our FutureChef contestant from County Durham was mentored by Stuart Bowman, Sodexo’s Group Executive Chef and successfully reached the final which was held in March 2026. Sodexo is also the first prize sponsor of the competition. Its Sodexo Live! team at Ascot racecourse will be welcoming Kate, the 2026 Springboard FutureChef winner to the racecourse for an unforgettable experience. Kate will gain insight into how menus are created, she will work in the professional kitchen alongside Sodexo Live! chefs and will also dine in the restaurant and enjoy the excitement of a race day. Sodexo’s support also includes continued sponsorship of our Springboard Awards for Excellence and this year presented the Technology and Innovation Award. Together we are committed to unlocking potential and opening doors, empowering people from all backgrounds to find rewarding careers in hospitality.
