Project overview

Ten weeks to give frontline staff their break back

A full refurbishment of the servery and restaurant at Colchester Hospital, transforming the space into a modern, functional and welcoming environment aligned with Sodexo's new identity.

The design has been carefully considered to reduce queuing times and improve the speed of ordering and collection of food, helping busy hospital staff, particularly frontline teams, maximise their break times and allowing more time for customers to enjoy their food.
