Facilities management organisation Sodexo has hosted a restaurant cruise to recognise more than 100 employees for their long service with the organisation.

These employees, who have completed 20, 30 or 40 years’ service, were treated to a lunch on-board Bateaux London’s Symphony, a restaurant cruise vessel.

Following the cruise along the Thames, the group enjoyed a celebratory dinner at Madame Tussauds.

They were also presented with their chosen gift in recognition of their long service.

Debbie White, chief executive at Sodexo, said: “People are at the heart of Sodexo. Our business relies on tens of thousands of talented individuals who provide our customers and clients with exceptional service every day.

“This annual event is a great opportunity for us to show just how much we value and appreciate all the hard work, dedication and loyalty our employees have shown Sodexo over the years.”
