Since 2011 Sodexo Live! has been part of the Kent Cricket experience, enhancing every match and event at the ground with ‘exceptional’ catering and service. The renewed contract also includes support for the club’s sister site at The County Ground in Beckenham.
Claire Morris, chief executive of Sodexo Live! UK& Ireland, said: “Over the years, we have strived to introduce innovative solutions that enhance the overall customer experience. This renewed commitment allows us to keep pushing the boundaries in hospitality, ensuring every visit to The Spitfire Ground and The County Ground is an unforgettable one.”
The Sodexo Live! team at The Spitfire Ground is known for its ‘innovative’ approach, utilising Kappture technology for seamless cashless payments and for large-scale events a self-serve EBar beerwall is used to speed up service. The venue has also hosted concerts featuring stars like Tom Jones, Michael Bublé, Tears For Fears and UB40.
Simon Storey, chief executive of Kent Cricket, added: “Since 2011, Sodexo Live! has been a pivotal part of Kent Cricket’s journey, significantly enhancing the matchday and non-matchday experience with their exceptional catering and hospitality services. I am grateful for its long-standing support and I am excited to see this partnership continue to flourish.”
