Sodexo has secured a contract providing catering, hospitality, vending, cleaning and bar management services at sportscotland's national sports training centres in Largs, Inverclyde and in Cumbrae.

sportscotland is  the national agency for sport in Scotland and has operated the centres for over 50 years.

The three-year contract, which is worth more than £500,000 in annual turnover, sees Sodexo providing services for all of the centre's users which range from elite athletes and college students to school children and the local community.

The contract caterer also provides a full catering and event service at the centre in Largs, including breakfast, lunch and an evening meal for all residents at the centre, as well as managing the retail outlet, vending and hospitality functions.

Meanwhile Sodexo general manager Helen Cook runs the operation with 15 members of staff at Inverclyde and a further six employees at Cumbrae, which increases in the summer months and at busy event times.

Susan Pike, senior account manager for Sodexo Scotland, said: "sportscotland wanted a partner who could understand the different customer needs, modernise the services and provide quality hospitality and we are delighted that we fit the bill."

John Kent, sportscotland principal of the Inverclyde and Cumbrae sites, added: "We were looking for a high quality of service for all our users, both residentially and from the community. Sodexo has the record of providing quality and we look forward to working with them towards the Olympic and Commonwealth Games."
