By James Russell: Vacherin starts 2014 by winning over £3m of City business

January 20, 2014

Specialist caterer Vacherin has won two major contracts in the competitive Central London market with international law firm, Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, and specialist home and business insurer Hiscox. The contracts will add a combined turnover in excess of £3m over the duration of the 3-year contracts and expand the Vacherin team by 20.
Hiscox + Art Café

For Hiscox, Vacherin will provide catering and office services to the 600 Hiscox staff on site.  The all-day Art Café surrounded by a wonderful range of original artworks from the Hiscox collection, will serve breakfast, lunch and refreshments throughout the day, and the team will also provide hospitality and fine dining.

Hiscox were particularly impressed with the way Vacherin demonstrated how they nurture and develop their team – a cultural style that Hiscox strongly supports with its own employees.

Debevoise & Plimpton

At Debevoise & Plimpton’s new offices in Gresham Street, Vacherin will provide catering services to the all-day café serving nearly 200 people daily, and a full hospitality service to the meetings and events spaces within the new offices.

Phil Roker, Owner and Commercial Director for Vacherin, said, “We’re really delighted to start the year in this way.  It’s a great motivator for the team and we are excited by the opportunities these new contracts bring.  At Debevoise & Plimpton, healthy eating is of particular interest to our new customers there and they will be enjoying our recently expanded range of healthy dishes from our award-winning Nutritious & Delicious range.”
