Neely is joining as social value lead and will be responsible for helping drive forward the company’s purpose agenda. In November 2019 she set up a campaign to secure 24/7 access to hot, nutritious and affordable food to NHS Staff.
Chris Chidley, Compass Group UK & Ireland social value executive team sponsor said: “I am delighted that Neely is joining our social value team. We know that social value remains high on our clients’ agenda and with the high cost of living, making a positive impact in the communities in which we work has never been more important.
“While our teams across the country already do so much to support our clients, colleagues and communities, we know there is more we can do, and we have the ability to change people’s lives and make a positive difference.”
As one of the UK’s largest employers, employing over 45,000 people and operating across 6,000 sites around the UK, Compass recognises the constructive role it can play in supporting local communities and positively impacting the lives of both its employees and people outside of the organisation.
Neely added: “I am really looking forward to supporting the social value work at Compass. I have always been passionate about doing the right thing. Working on the ‘No Hungry Staff’ campaign I learnt so much about the power of positive partnerships and collaboration.
“I hope by bringing the same focus and energy, I can help drive Compass’ social value forward and build on the great foundations already in place, as we look to continue to make a positive impact in the communities where we work.”
