Lindley Venue Catering appointed to Rotherham United FC’s new stadium

Sports stadia catering division, Lindley Venue Catering, has been appointed by Rotherham United FC to develop its conference and events business.
 
In the deal, the catering company will manage all aspects of the match and non-match day catering at the League Two club’s new £20m New York Stadium in Rotherham. The stadium is due for completion by Summer 2012, in time for the 2012-13 season.
 
Rotherham United FC selected Lindley Venue Catering as its catering and events business partner following a competitive tender for the five year £6.1m contract to provide catering and events sales and marketing services for the club when it relocates from its temporary home at Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield to the 12, 000 capacity New York Stadium next season.
 
The stadium is located in the centre of Rotherham in an area formerly known as New York and on the site of a former foundry, which manufactured fire hydrants for New York City.
 
The design of the new complex will include a 400-cover hospitality suite overlooking the pitch along with a variety of other meeting rooms and suites.
 
Responsibility for proactively selling and marketing non-match day events at the New York Stadium will form a major part of Lindley Venue Catering’s remit, alongside providing all public and hospitality catering services on match days.
 
The new venture will create at least 80 full and part-time jobs, and Lindley Venue Catering is now recruiting to fill the new posts.
