Sodexo included in top 50 list for supporting veterans
Abstract
At the 2025 Ex-Forces in Business Awards dinner held at the Grosvenor House London last week, Sodexo UK & Ireland celebrated its continued inclusion in the 50 Great British Employers of Veterans.

The top 50 list is compiled by the organisers of the Ex-Forces in Business Awards and was created to provide a guide to organisations setting the national standard in veteran employment.

It provides a definitive, data-backed guide to the UK’s most exemplary forces friendly employers and stands as a mark of excellence for organisations whose support is embedded, enduring and effective. 

Inclusion requires employers to undergo a comprehensive assessment combining objective data with expert human evaluation by an independent judging panel of 21 business leaders who are veterans in their own right.

Paul Anstey, chief executive of Government and Energy & Resources at Sodexo UK & Ireland, said: We are extremely proud to be again included in this prestigious list. Supporting the welfare of the armed forces community and providing meaningful employment opportunities is an integral part of our social impact commitments.

“Veterans and individuals with military connections have a diverse range of skills and experience which are transferrable into businesses such as ours and something we truly value, which is why we continue to focus on providing meaningful career opportunities for veterans, reserve and military families where we can.

“Engaging with relevant external organisations and networks is crucial to building advocacy and bridging the gap between industry and the military and we are proud of colleagues who are actively participating with these groups, helping to promote dedicated career pathways in an industry that actively values the armed forces community.”
