Sodexo gives Newcastle Building Society something to smile about

Keegan.jpgSodexo has finally given the beleaguered populace of Newcastle something to smile about, helping take Geordies’ minds off Kevin Keegan and the hostile takeover of local brewer Scottish & Newcastle.

The caterer and facilities management company has started a £250,000 initial one-year deal to feed Newcastle Building Society staff at Cobalt Business Park.

The deal also includes cleaning and gym services (!). Sodexo will initially be feeding 150 building society staff but the number is set to rise to 500 later this year as more are moved into the recently built site.

However, there could be considerably more mouths than even this to feed as Personnel Today reports that disenfranchised workers at the now nationalised Northern Rock are looking to work at rival Newcastle Building Society.

So smiles all round then, just don’t mention the Magpies or the fact that Madonna has bought a Scottish & Newcastle pub (she hasn’t).
