VCP secures Eco-Power Stadium contract
VCP’s current partners are Peterborough United, Hull City and Malvern Theatres
Club Doncaster in South Yorkshire has appointed Venue Catering Partners (VCP) as its new catering operatives at the Eco-Power Stadium.
VCP will operate as DN4 Events as it brings its award-winning expertise and provision to the stadium’s concourses, restaurants and hospitality offering as part of an initial five-year agreement.
The company handles catering provision for Hull City, with the Tigers recently winning the best retail catering prize at the 2023 Stadium Events and Hospitality Awards.
VCP won a very competitive tender process to secure the Club Doncaster contract.
The agreement offers the club a much greater degree of control than in previous operations, allowing it to respond to the “needs and wants” of customers.
Alongside concourse kiosks and restaurants, the club will work with VCP on street food options at the stadium to add even more choice for its supporters.
VCP’s current partners are Peterborough United, Hull City and Malvern Theatres.
Paul Biffen, VCP chief executive partner, said: “We are really pleased to be working alongside Club Doncaster and are very excited to deliver our service to supporters and customers at the stadium.
“At VCP, customer service is at the heart of what we do and we hope those attending the stadium will be impressed by the range of choice and the quality of the products we will have on offer.”
He added: “VCP offers a boutique service and our goal is to create a business serving your needs and tailored to serve your ambitions. A real ‘partnership’ model serving a limited number of clients that operate in a range of selected sports and entertainment venues.
“These are exciting times for us as we launch the DN4 Events brand to create a bespoke offering for Club Doncaster that will be shaped by supporters and customers. We look forward to a long and productive partnership with the club.”
Shaun Lockwood, Club Doncaster chief operating officer, added: “We are incredibly excited to be launching DN4 Events with VCP as they bring proven quality and service to the Eco-Power Stadium. The bid they put forward was excellent and we feel there is plenty to look forward to with this partnership.”
