Chemicals giant extends extensive FM contract with Sodexo
Services provider, Sodexo, has been awarded a two-year extension to its soft and hard FM (facilities management) contract at six BASF sites in the UK and Ireland, including its UK head office in Stockport.
Sodexo, which has an office in Salford, has delivered services to German multinational chemical companyBASF for more than 30 years, and since 2014 Sodexo has been delivering full IFM services at six BASF sites in the UK and Ireland, where it employs around 800 staff.
The services provider delivers environmental, health and safety (EHS) services, technical and maintenance services, cleaning, security, reception and visitor management as well as remote maintenance at a number of the sites.
Julie Ennis, CEO corporate services, Sodexo UK & Ireland, said: “We have a long standing partnership with BASF here in the UK and Ireland.”
She said both companies share similar corporate values on treating those they employ with respect, a commitment to ensuring their businesses have a positive impact on local communities, and a strategy to limit the impact their operations have on the planet.
“Our teams work closely with each of the sites we deliver services for, to ensure the workplace experience is second to none.
“We support BASF’s employee engagement and experience goals so its people can focus on delivering excellence every day. We look forward to continuing our partnership for a further two years.”
Chris Skurray, facilities manager for BASF UK and Ireland, said: “In a time of economic uncertainty, we know that as a trusted partner, Sodexo has the capability and expertise to continue to work alongside us through these challenging times.”
Sodexo’s corporate services business delivers workplace services, facilities management and food services to some of the world’s most recognisable brands.
Its teams have expertise operating across a range of different environments in the corporate sector, including headquarters, regional offices, data centres, manufacturing centres and research and development hubs, in sectors as diverse as professional services, financial services, pharmaceuticals, media and technology.
