Levy, a global leader in culinary experiences for events, entertainment and sports venues, has been awarded the food and beverage services contract at ACC Liverpool.
Commencing on 1 April 2026, the partnership covers the venue’s convention and exhibition wings of the city’s landmark events destination.
Levy was selected for its industry-leading expertise and strong track record in delivering high-quality catering, alongside a clear commitment to environmental sustainability and social value. This alignment makes Levy a natural fit for ACC Liverpool, supporting its role as a carbon-neutral venue and a proud pillar of the Liverpool City Region.
Central to this new chapter is an innovative and collaborative delivery model. Levy will partner with Horseradish, an established and trusted local event catering specialist, to deliver elevated packages that bring a regional dynamic to the ACC Liverpool campus. This strategic alliance is designed to keep the partnership firmly rooted in the local area while guaranteeing a continuity of excellence. By combining Horseradish’s deep local expertise with Levy’s national scale, Levy will provide a uniquely ‘Liverpool’ experience for every delegate—delivered by local people and supporting local producers.
Commenting on the contract award, Levy CEO, 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 COO, Kerry Villa, commented: “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, added: “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.”
