Southampton Football Club has reached an agreement in principle with Gather & Gather to enter into a new catering and events partnership.

Gather & Gather, which launched in 2013, is part of CH&CO, a specialist catering and hospitality company that holds a Royal Warrant and works with prestigious clients, including Historic Royal Palaces and Kew Gardens.

As of 1st July 2020, 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.

Gather & Gather 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.”
