TSK wins Sodexo contract

Salford Quays-based workplace specialists TSK has been appointed for the design and fit out of the new UK and Ireland headquarters of Sodexo in London's Midtown.

TSK, which previously fitted out a shared service facility for Sodexo in Greater Manchester, said the global on-site services provider has asked the company to consolidate three existing offices in the south east into developer Englander Group's One Southampton Row building in Holborn.

As well as improving communication between Sodexo's individual departments, the new workplace will also include a fully functioning restaurant area.

Sodexo is expected to move into its new headquarters this summer. The company currently has two UK head offices in Capital House in London and one at Albany Business Park in Camberley. The Ireland office is located at 23 Rock Hill in Blackrock, County Dublin.

Andrew Burns, joint managing director of TSK, said: "A carefully designed workplace can both support and encourage greater communication. This is especially important, as in Sodexo's case, when several sites are being consolidated into a single location.

"They are a hugely successful business with plans for significant expansion and a state of the art headquarters will help them to attract and retain the best talent in their industry. The head office location will also capture a range of efficiency saving benefits by supporting a variety of working needs and styles."
