Macfarlane has joined from Lusso, CH&Co’s London catering arm, where he was director of operations. In his new role he will oversee a team of three operators managing Vacherin’s portfolio of clients.
Mark Philpott, owner & MD, Vacherin, commented: “Simon’s background is perfect for Vacherin. He has in-depth knowledge of the needs of the clientele we work for, impeccable food and beverage skills, well-honed team development expertise, and a thorough financial grounding. As our company continues to grow, it’s important for us to find the right people to help us take Vacherin to the next level and Simon fits the bill perfectly.”
Macfarlane added: “Having worked in senior roles in the City for more than a decade, I’ve watched Vacherin grow with interest and have always been impressed when I have visited one of their operations. This new role is a great opportunity for me to join a quality, social responsibility-focused caterer and play a part in growing it more. I’m very excited by the prospect and I’m looking forward to working with a fun group of colleagues.”
