Vacherin expands senior team after sales rise for third successive year
Abstract
London contract caterer Vacherin has made two new appointments and restructured its senior team in preparation for further growth following three successive years of sales increases.

Mark Philpott becomes chairman, while Phil Roker takes over as managing director, replacing his previous role as commercial director.

Clive Hetherington remains as executive finance director, and will appoint a head of finance, purchasing & administration as one of two new roles that strengthens the team. The second new role is a director of business development & communication, who will lead all sales, marketing, and internal and external communications.

The company is still 100% owned by Philpott, Roker and Hetherington, and the restructure will allow Mark and Clive to focus on the strategy and direction of the company, while Phil will take control of the day to day operations.

Philpott, said: “The restructure will allow us to grow even more, while Clive and I will be keeping close to ensure that the company ethos and client relationships are retained.

“Phil has been with us for 10 years now, and is seen as almost as central to Vacherin as we are, so is a very natural choice to lead this new team.”

In March Vacherin reported that turnover had risen by 8.8% in 2015 - breaking the £15m barrier for the first time - and in the last three years had increased by 38%.
