He brings extensive experience from his role as public catering manager at MKM Stadium, home of Hull City and Hull FC. Crane has been a dedicated member of the Stadium Experience community for over a decade.
This summer, Crane and his team celebrated a major achievement—winning their second Best Retail Catering Award in just three years at the independently judged Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards.
Founded in 2002, Stadium Experience aims to promote stadia as premier venues for conferences, meetings, and events, while encouraging best practice and raising industry standards.
In 2017, the association expanded to include a dedicated public catering arm, offering stadium venues a platform to share expertise, collaborate, and strive for continued excellence in catering services.
In his new role, Crane will join the Stadium Experience Leadership Team, serving as the voice of public catering professionals at stadium venues across the UK. This voluntary team drives the strategic direction of the association and includes industry leaders from venues nationwide.
Collette Salmon, chair of Stadium Experience, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Henry to the Leadership Team as the new driver of our stadium public catering initiatives. His work at MKM Stadium has been truly ground-breaking, and we’re excited to see that innovation and expertise shared more broadly across our network.”
