    Matt Dawson

    Matt Dawson MBE was appointed in 2010 as an ambassador for Sodexo to help raise awareness of health and wellbeing issues.

    With a keen interest in culinary development and food, Matt works across all of Sodexo’s business segments, supporting Sodexo’s activities across the UK and Ireland. Since joining Sodexo he has also become an enthusiastic advocate of the company’s employee engagement approach, playing an active role in campaigns and initiatives.

    Matt was part of England’s successful winning team in the 2003 Rugby World Cup, which capped an impressive rugby career at both club and international level. He is also well known as a sports commentator for BBC Radio Five Live and team captain since 2004 on BBC’s flagship sports quiz ‘A Question of Sport.’ 

    In 2006, he won BBC Celebrity Masterchef and published his own cookbook, following his Royal Television Society nominated food show ‘Mitch & Matt’, which was shown on UK Food.
