Houston & Hawkes has been appointed catering partner for VodafoneThree following a competitive tender process.
The independent B Corp-certified contract caterer will provide staff dining, hospitality, events and café services across VodafoneThree sites in London, Newbury and Stoke, serving approximately 7,000 customers each day.
The contract builds on Houston & Hawkes’ four-year tenure as catering partner to Three UK.
The appointment follows the merger of Vodafone UK and Three UK in June 2025, bringing together the real estate and workplace operations of the two businesses.
Houston & Hawkes will now expand its existing partnership to support the combined VodafoneThree operation across the three locations.
Dave Hawkes, Co-founder and Director of Houston & Hawkes, said: “We’re incredibly proud to have been chosen to partner with VodafoneThree. Over the past four years, we’ve built a fantastic relationship with Three, and this next chapter gives us an exciting opportunity to build on that success. We have a shared ambition to create outstanding food and drink experiences, and we’re looking forward to bringing fresh thinking, new ideas and even higher standards to VodafoneThree’s people and workplaces.”
David Fry, Head of Property at VodafoneThree, said: “Houston & Hawkes have been a valued partner to us for several years, and we are delighted to be continuing that relationship as we bring our businesses together. Great food and hospitality are fundamental to the workplace experience we want to offer our people, and we know Houston & Hawkes will help us deliver exactly that.”
Kelsey Murray, People Experience Lead at VodafoneThree, added: “This is a huge step towards our #1 for People ambition at VodafoneThree. The Houston & Hawkes team have demonstrated incredible passion, energy and commitment to delivering outstanding experiences for our colleagues and we’re genuinely excited about the journey ahead as we continue to enhance workplace experience across our locations.”
