Catering company, Levy UK + Ireland, has extended its long-term partnership with conference and events venue, The QEII Centre, for a further 10 years.
Levy UK + Ireland has provided catering services at The QEII Centre for almost 40 years and shares the QEII Centre’s commitment to sustainability, with a focus on plant-forward menus, seasonal produce, and reducing food waste.
A key aspect of the contract renewal was the addition of esteemed chef partnerships collaborating with the venue’s renowned in-house catering service, QEII Taste. Green Michelin-starred Chef and former protegee of Gordon Ramsay at Petrus, Will Devlin will be the first chef to work alongside QEII Taste Executive Head Chef, Danilo Barbagallo and his team to create ‘Michelin Dinner Packages’ for banquets, incorporating locally sourced seasonal ingredients.
In March, Levy held its show-stopping Chefs’ Table event at The QEII Centre, uniting 26 esteemed chefs who collectively hold 28 Michelin stars to serve 22 different six-course menus to over 300 guests.
Mark Taylor, Chief Executive, The QEII Centre, said: “We are proud to announce the reappointment of Levy UK + Ireland. Having worked with the team for a number of years, we know them to be passionate and hardworking, and dedicated to delivering not only exceptional quality food, but outstanding customer service with a clear focus on sustainability.
“We would also like to welcome Will Devlin to our skilled QEII Taste team. Will is a hugely talented chef and will be an incredible asset to the venue, further elevating our offer to our clients and underscoring our commitment to excellence.”
Jon Davies, CEO of Levy commented: “The QEII Centre and Levy have a long history of shared success, and we are thrilled to continue to provide exceptional experiences together. We collectively strive to minimise our environmental footprint and collaborate with suppliers and chefs who share this commitment, so having Will Devlin on board is fantastic!”
