New leadership team for Vacherin

Vacherin has announced a new leadership team that it says prepares the company for the next era of growth and celebrates its commitment to talent development. Tom Rule has been promoted to managing director designate, with Phil Roker, the specialist London caterer’s incumbent managing director (who won a Contract Catering Award last night), preparing to move into the role of chairman.

Rule originally joined the company as operations manager back in 2012, successfully progressing to operations director. His contribution includes creating growth opportunities for Vacherin and its clients, such as overseeing the development of its successful central production kitchen delivered-in business and driving forward its exciting coffee culture.

“Tom is the right person for me to hand the reins to. He is an exceptional talent who will retain the core values and spirit that make Vacherin truly special, while embracing new ideas, technology and challenges. He has his finger on the pulse of our business, market, clients and teams, and I look forward to seeing him continue to flourish as he takes on this exciting new challenge.”

Rule added: “Vacherin is an incredible business with fantastic clients and people, and I’m thrilled and honoured to lead it into its exciting future. I’ve had a brilliant career journey with Vacherin so far, with great support and development opportunities that have brought me to this position.

“I look forward to working closely with Phil and the rest of the team as I settle into the role and we identify new opportunities for innovation and growth.”
