Levy snaps up F&B contract with ACC Liverpool

Levy has been awarded the food and beverage services contract at ACC Liverpool.

The sports, entertainment and events arm of Compass Group UK & Ireland has replaced Sodexo Live! as the convention and exhibition centre contract caterer.

Beginning on 1 April the contract will see Levy partner with local event catering business Horseradish “to deliver elevated packages that bring a regional dynamic to the ACC Liverpool campus”.

By using local expertise with Levy’s national scale, ACC Liverpool intends to provide a uniquely “Liverpool” experience for guests and delegates.

Levy chief executive Jon Davies said: “We are incredibly proud to partner with ACC Liverpool, a venue that understands the power of hospitality in driving social change. It is fantastic to work with such like-minded partners who prioritise the planet and their community as much as the visitor experience. We are looking forward to elevating these key pillars even further, ensuring that every plate served contributes positively to the local area and helps protect the planet.”

ACC Liverpool’s chief operating officer Kerry Villa added: “We’re committed to creating experiences that feel authentic, memorable and unmistakably Liverpool. Building on the strong foundations established with our previous catering operators Sodexo Live!, working with Levy is an exciting step forward for us, bringing their wealth of industry experience while keeping our offer firmly rooted in the local community. By combining Levy’s global expertise with our local catering partner, Horseradish, we’re reimagining our catering in a way that celebrates the city, supports sustainability, and makes every event feel that little bit more special.”

Rupert Worden, director at Horseradish, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be working alongside Levy at ACC Liverpool. We bring deep-rooted knowledge to this partnership, allowing us to showcase the very best of the region through food that is seasonal, sustainable, delicious and served with care. For us, it’s about delivering exceptional experiences while supporting local producers, local talent, and the community that makes this city so unique.”
