"As Whitbread continues to go from strength to strength across Europe, we are looking forward to implementing our services throughout their business operations to support future change and digital transformation as one of their premier IT partners."

In addition to the services which upgrade Whitbread's offering, the contract cements a long-standing and shared sustainability commitment between the two organizations to achieve net zero.

Rajeet Nair, Head of Technology Operations at Whitbread:

The new contract with Fujitsu will help drive the right behavior through data insights and explore new modern channels for service engagement."
