The long-term partnership, which will begin in 2025, marks Aramark UK’s debut with a Premier League club. The partnership will enable Aramark UK to focus on a 365-day offer and serve up to 52,888 fans per match day.
Helen Milligan-Smith, chief executive and president at Aramark UK, said: “We are thrilled to be chosen as the global partner for Everton FC. Our shared commitment to delivering remarkable experiences means we are developing something truly extraordinary for the launch of the new stadium.
“It’s important to us that we go above and beyond to forge strong connections not only with our venues, but with the wider community, too. The introduction of a new social enterprise program is a great example of this, and we look forward to working with the club to champion local produce and provide training and job opportunities to local people across Liverpool.”
Aramark UK will implement ‘market-leading technology’ aimed to minimise wait times and enhance guest satisfaction. The team plans to create ‘memorable experiences’ on match days and beyond by showcasing a range of specially curated food and drink concepts.
Richard Kenyon, Everton’s chief commercial and communications officer, added: “Aramark understand what goes into and what is required to deliver high profile and multi-purpose venues. As we look forward to the club’s bright future at our new home, we are focused on working together to deliver the right type of experience for every fan and every visitor, both within the stadium and on The Plaza.”
