TWO Warrington men have been presented with long service awards by food and facilities management service company Sodexo.
Stephen Adcroft and Andrew Courtney-Smith attended a special awards ceremony in Liverpool in recognition of their long service.
Electrical technician Stephen was recognised for his 50 years’ service with the business, while Andrew, a general service manager was acknowledged for his 30 years’ service.
Following an informal lunch, where they met with Sodexo UK & Ireland’s CEO, Sean Haley, they spent the afternoon exploring Liverpool and visiting one of its many visitor attractions, courtesy of Sodexo.
In the evening they joined fellow long service recipients and senior leaders from the organisation at the ACC Liverpool for a three-course celebratory dinner, prepared by colleagues from the Sodexo Live! team at the venue.
The Long Service Awards are an annual event to which Sodexo invites its employees with 20, 30, 40 or even 50 years’ service to thank them for their commitment, hard work and loyalty.

At Sodexo we are committed to ensuring our colleagues feel like they belong and are valued, where they can act with purpose and thrive in their career with us.”
