Global Expertise Meets Local Flavour: Levy to Lead ACC Liverpool’s Catering Offer

ACC Liverpool are pleased to announce they have awarded their food and beverage services contract to Levy, a global leader in culinary experiences for events, entertainment and sports venues. Starting on 1st April 2026, the partnership will deliver client-focused catering services for conference and exhibition events across the city’s landmark events campus.

Levy has been selected as the partner of choice 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 Catering to deliver elevated catering packages that will bring a local dynamic to ACC Liverpool’s visitors to the campus. This strategic alliance is designed to ensure the partnership remains rooted in the local area, ensures a continuity of excellence, combining Horseradish’s deep regional expertise with Levy’s national scale to provide a uniquely "Liverpool" experience for every delegate, served by local people using local produce.

As the home of major international summits, global conferences, and some of the UK’s most high-profile business and political events, ACC Liverpool needs a partner that can deliver at scale without losing the personal, community-focused approach that reflects the spirit of the city.

Levy, John Davies, commented: "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, 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 marks the next exciting chapter in our growth, bringing Levy’s 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.”
