An exciting opportunity to lead the food and beverage operation at one of London’s top-tier venues – supporting world-class events and ensuring exceptional guest experiences across a dynamic F&B environment.
THE COMPANY
A market leader in event services, this company delivers innovative and high-quality solutions across food & beverage, payments, ticketing, logistics, and customer experience.
With operations at more than 400 high-profile events and venues throughout the UK and Europe – including some of the most iconic stadiums, festivals, and international sporting events – they are renowned for their commitment to excellence and operational precision.
THE ROLE
