The contract, which is worth £5 million in total turnover, will provide services to Discovery Museum, Laing Art Gallery, South Shields Museum and Art Gallery, and Segedunum Roman Fort and Museum.

David Johnson, managing director, Sodexo Prestige, said: “After the launch at the Great North Museum: Hancock where we have developed a successful venue proposition in the first year of operation, we are delighted to be chosen to provide our services to jewels in the TWAM collection. Our focus is to provide a smooth operation, offer a great visitor catering experience, and to work with the museums to build on their strengths for corporate and private business.” Iain Watson, assistant director, Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums, said: “We are delighted to welcome Sodexo Prestige as our new retail and event catering partner at Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Tyneside venues. We are always looking at ways of making our buildings and collections work harder, and one way of doing this is to provide a wider range of opportunities for people to visit. We have set ourselves the ambitious target of developing TWAM museum and gallery spaces into the leading event venues in the region.”
