Sodexo secures 10-year extension to Tettenhall College contract

Sodexo has secured a 10-year extension to its 50-year partnership with Tettenhall College, an independent, co-educational day and boarding school near Wolverhampton.

The new contract, valued at £6m, will see Independents by Sodexo continue to deliver the catering and hospitality services for over 500 students aged between two and 18.

The extension saw a refreshed menu introduced in September with a new dining hall to follow, which will modernise the food services.

Items on the new menu include dishes such as charred piri-piri chicken thigh, blackened vegetables, Portuguese-style savoury rice, chipotle mayo and citrus slaw as well as also old favourites such as pork sausage toad in the hole, champ potatoes, glazed carrots, roasted brassicas and onion gravy.

Sodexo’s 15-strong team will also provide hospitality services at the school including special dinners for the headmaster’s guests.

Steve Hawkins, managing director, schools for Sodexo UK & Ireland said: “Extending our long-lasting partnership with Tettenhall College for another ten years is a true statement of the outstanding work our team has delivered over the years, especially our chefs who continue to inspire our customers with their delicious and nutritious dishes."

Christopher McAllister, headmaster, Tettenhall College said: “Tettenhall College has worked with Sodexo for the past 50 years and we’re thrilled to be renewing our partnership for another ten years.

"We are confident that the team will continue to provide a high level of care and services to the college.”
