The four-and-a-half-year contract will see Gather & Gather serving 9,000 Vodafone employees every day across 12 different locations.
Vodafone felt that Gather & Gather was able to support its aspiration to create inspirational dining spaces for its employees, following a competitive tender process against a number of catering providers.
Allister Richards, Gather & Gather’s managing director, said: “This is a brilliant result for us – it was incredibly hard fought, with the best in the business pushing each other all the way.
“To come out on top is testament to the quality and depth in our team and the fact that our food, service style, design ethos and culture are a unique and powerful combination in our market.
“We are looking forward to working with Vodafone, and alongside our colleagues who already deliver IFM services, which offers us even more opportunity to make a difference. Everyone’s massively up for it – we can’t wait to get stuck in.”
Gather and Gather’s approach to employee wellbeing is also high on Vodafone’s agenda, with a focus on healthy and nutritious meals served in inspiring environments, which encourages employees to take time out and return to work refreshed, motivated and restored.
Gather & Gather is part of Mitie Group, the FTSE 250 strategic outsourcing company.
