Levy UK and Ireland partners with Burnley FC

Levy UK and Ireland has announced that it has partnered with Burnley FC to deliver matchday concourse catering, hospitality, and conferencing and events.

The collaboration will see the middle tier of Turf Moor’s Jimmy McIlroy stand, redeveloped into a new matchday experience.

The stand will have a Super Box, which is an open-plan premium dining space, a pitch facing sports bar with street food stations, complete with table football and a state-of-the art gaming lounge.

Furthermore, technology will be introduced throughout the concourses to improve the customer experience and self-order units will replace traditional bar service.

The Levy team is working with existing local suppliers, businesses, and their produce to develop the menu.

Jon Davies, managing director, Levy UK and Ireland, said: “We love the community spirit which surrounds Burnley Football Club, and we identify with it. Levy is a Real Living Wage employer, and we work hard to support the communities of all the clubs we partner with. We develop our workforce, forge relationships with regional suppliers, and support local charities.

“Burnley invested wisely on the pitch over the last 12 months, and we’re excited to partner with them to translate this onto the concourse and enhance the supporter matchday experience. The club is at the heart of the community, many of which are part of a fantastic catering and hospitality team, who we can’t wait to work alongside to take this great club to the next level.”

Stuart Hunt, co-owner, Burnley Football Club said: “We’re delighted to partner with Levy to transform hospitality and catering at Turf Moor. We have seen fantastic success on the pitch this past season and I’m excited that through this partnership we can continue to take great strides forward off the pitch too, with the renovations and improved technology allowing us to offer supporters an exceptional premium football experience.”

“Enhancing our matchday offering has been of key importance to us from the outset and I’m very much looking forward to welcoming supporters to enjoy Premier League football in a premier league environment next season.”
