F&B Experience

In the competitive grab-and-go marketplace — a new venture must distinguish itself through substance, style, and character. Bateman’s draws upon the rich heritage of Compass Group, established in 1941 to support the war effort, inspired by Jack Bateman — a visionary committed to enhancing productivity and a key figure in a British success story.

Every detail, from the bespoke typography and thoughtful illustrations to the industrial design elements of the café, pays homage to this wartime legacy. Infused with contemporary touches and subtle nods to the past, the experience artfully merges tradition and modernity, creating a unique atmosphere that resonates with today’s consumers.

 

The Bateman & Co. concept was implemented across Compass Group’s global staff offices.
