Over the past few weeks, we have been celebrating Sodexo’s Hidden Heroes who continue to play a pivotal role in the fight against Coronavirus (Covid-19) by supporting our region’s key workers so that they can do their job well and safely.

In a new weekly feature, our Ambassador and Regional Leadership Committee member, Matt Dawson, will be sharing a Friday thank you video to recognise just a few of the Hidden Heroes living Sodexo’s values every day.

You can watch the first video message below:

Make sure to come back next Friday to see if Matt gives you a shout out for your hard work!

Do you have a story to tell? Let us know about your Hidden Heroes using this Your_Sodexo form for a chance to be featured in one of Matt’s future videos.
