Sodexho appoints new managing director for Scotland

Graham joins Sodexho from Compass where latterly he was the managing director for Scotland and the North of England, having joined them as business development director in 1995.

His earlier career was spent with Gardner Merchant/Sodexho which he joined in 1988. His main responsibilities included business development and contract retention and during his time here he was awarded Sales Person of the Year for his achievements.

During his career, Graham has delivered strong financial performance by forming influential client relationships and has expertise in growing business both in catering and support services.

Mike Johnson, managing director for Sodexho's Business and Industry division, said, "I am delighted that Graham is re-joining Sodexho and look forward to working with him to grow our Scottish business."

Graham Box said, "I am excited about returning to Sodexho - which has successfully evolved from a caterer into a full facilities management provider - and to developing the business in Scotland."

Sodexho has taken the decision to split the Scotland and Ireland division - which previously was the responsibility of one managing director - in order to allow more focus on each business and is actively seeking a managing director for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, based in Dublin.
