“We are focused on retaining a great team and truly engaging with the community, as well as working alongside the client to develop innovations that deliver real value."
Sodexo Horticultural Services includes grounds maintenance, hard and soft landscaping, sports ground maintenance, interior plant displays and green waste recycling.
