Levy Ireland inks 10-year Convention Centre Dublin deal

Levy Ireland has announced that it has agreed a 10-year contract extension to provide hospitality services at The Convention Centre Dublin (The CCD).

Fitzers Catering originally won the contract back in 2010 when the venue first opened.

The relationship will continue under Levy Ireland, which is a partnership between Fitzers Catering and Levy’s Irish business, formed back in 2022.

One of Levy’s plans includes transforming The Forum exhibition area into a street food market for a huge corporate event, serving authentic dishes from across the globe.

A key priority for The CCD and Levy Ireland will be a continued focus on how to minimise environmental impact.

Levy will exclusively use Irish meat, free-range eggs, and seasonal vegetables on menus, plus all desserts will be 100% plant-based by 2024.

The CCD already boasts accreditations for Event Sustainability Management ISO 20121 and Environmental Standards ISO 14001.

Barry Storey, Levy Ireland managing director, said: “We are thrilled to extend our amazing relationship with The Convention Centre Dublin. With tens of thousands of guests walking through its doors each year, it’s an honour to have the opportunity to serve delectable menus which shine a light on Ireland’s fantastic local produce, especially to international visitors.

“Levy Ireland looks forward to continuing on this journey and has some exciting plans to enhance the guest experience, ensuring we make a positive impact on the planet, all while continuing to deliver the best hospitality experience with our incredibly talented team.”

Stephen Meehan, chief executive at The CCD, added: “We are delighted to extend our partnership with the Levy Ireland team. After 13 successful years together, we look forward to continuing to work with the team as they delight our clients and delegate with the best of sustainable Irish produce and food.”
