Levy UK&I retains catering contract with ExCeL

Levy UK and Ireland, the sports and entertainment arm of Compass Group, has announced it has retained its contract with ExCeL.

Levy has been the catering partner at ExCeL since 2000 and is responsible for providing food and drink at its events, delivering catering for conferences, events, hospitality, and retail sales.

The contract extension will also see the development of four Levy apprentices at ExCeL.

Jon Davies, Levy MD, said: “Levy UK and Ireland is delighted to continue this journey with ExCeL, one of our longest standing clients. We have achieved a huge amount over the past 22 years, but there is more work to do and as a business we thrive on keeping pace with the continually changing environmental landscape.

“In ExCeL we have found a strong partner who shares our ambitious sustainability goals and targets. We are looking forward to pushing the boundaries and showcasing what can be done through a united approach to net zero aspirations and technological advancements.”

Simon Mills, ExCeL’s chief commercial officer, added: “Food is an essential part of any event experience, and often the element guests will remember the most. We have seen a notable shift in consumer trends with visitors now expecting a diverse range of exciting, tasty, high-quality, contemporary, and sustainably sourced food and beverage offerings and through our partnership with Levy UK and Ireland that’s exactly what they get when visiting ExCeL.”
