Southampton Football Club partners with Gather & Gather

Southampton Football Club has announced it has reached an agreement in principle with Gather & Gather, part of CH&CO, to enter into a new catering and events partnership.

The partnership is due to begin from July 1 and Gather & Gather will provide catering and events services across the club’s sites; from food and drink concepts and service in both the concourses and hospitality suites on matchdays, to conferences and events at St Mary’s on non-matchdays, as well as catering for the club’s players and staff.

The company has experience of catering for large-scale outdoor events and will also work closely with Southampton to identify additional ways to enhance the experience for supporters at the club’s games and for clients who visit the stadium for conferences and other functions.

Southampton Football Club’s chief commercial officer, David Thomas, said: “We conducted an in-depth and lengthy selection process as we looked at a new catering and events partnership, and it was Gather & Gather that emerged as the standout choice for us.
“It is not only a dynamic and agile brand, with a reputation for providing a first-rate service, but one that shares many key values with us, from its desire to challenge the status quo, to how it places innovation and people at the heart of everything it does.”
