Levy UK + Ireland Combines Irish Business With Fitzers Catering

Levy UK + Ireland, the sports and hospitality sector of Compass Group UK and Ireland, has announced that it is combining its Irish business with Fitzers Catering, an Irish family-owned catering company.

Details

The new partnership will allow Fitzers Catering to leverage Levy UK + Ireland's scale and experience to expand its operations and enable Levy UK + Ireland to grow further into the Irish market in seven venues in total.

Fitzers Catering will continue to be the leading brand of Levy UK + Ireland’s sports and conference operations in Ireland. Fitzers Catering's managing director, Barry Storey, and other key senior management, including Fitzers Catering's founders Sharon Fitzpatrick, Paula Fitzpatrick and Leonard Fearon, will continue to manage and deliver services in the region.

The new joined up approach will enable Fitzers Catering to continue its focus on sports and conferencing operations within Ireland and, through the power of Levy, will be able to develop and secure new business opportunities throughout the region.

Compass Ireland, which is a separate business, will continue to focus in its areas of expertise, with Fitzers Catering targeting sports and leisure sectors.
