Sodexo has announced the promotion of Ed Morrow as managing director of its energy & resources business in the UK and Ireland following the internal move of Cunera Vlaar, who has been appointed country lead for Sodexo Netherlands.
Mr Morrow joined Sodexo in 2007 as finance director for energy & resources UK & Ireland. Since then, he has held a number of senior roles in the business, including CFO Europe & Israel, finance director for global offshore & marine, and global VP finance for onshore energy and offshore & marine.
In his new role, he assumes responsibility for the company’s energy and resources business which delivers catering, hospitality, welfare, FM services, property management and refurbishments services to over 40 onshore energy and offshore and marine client sites throughout the UK.
Mr Morrow commented: “Having worked in this business for more than 15 years, I’m delighted to be leading Sodexo’s talented and dedicated energy & resources team.
“Our focus is on our site teams and clients to ensure we continue to stay ahead of the curve through our commitment to safety and providing outstanding service and support. We deliver a ‘home from home’ service to many with integrated services that support the wellbeing, and meet the evolving needs, of employees working in often isolated and complex environments such as offshore platforms in the North Sea or onshore LNG (liquified natural gas) plants and refineries.
“I’m looking forward to building on the strong client partnerships we hold and growing our portfolio of clients in this fascinating market.”
Chief executive officer Sean Haley added: “We’re pleased to announce Ed’s appointment as MD for energy & resources. Ed has extensive knowledge of this industry and a clear understanding of the impact the services our teams deliver every day has on the quality of life of everyone we serve.
“We thank Cunera for her leadership over the past few years, which has seen our energy & resources business develop. With Ed at the helm, I look forward to seeing the business grow and innovate further.”
