£6m Aston Villa deal for Levy

Aston Villa has awarded a £6m catering and hospitality contract to Levy Restaurants.

The five-year agreement will see the company partner with the football club on match day hospitality and entertaining, as well as helping to market and deliver non-match day conference and events.

The contract also includes catering at Aston Villa’s training ground, Bodymoor Heath.

Levy Restaurants, which is part of Compass Group, already works in some of the country’s most high-profile sporting venues, including Twickenham Stadium, Kia Oval and Wimbledon.

Colin Bailey, managing director at Levy Restaurants UK, said: “We’ve had great success with headline stadia in the UK and are looking forward to developing Villa Park’s food and drink reputation as one of the foremost places to entertain and do business.”

Levy plans to introduce new retail concepts, as well as innovations across the premium seat offering to the stadium.
