7th July 2011, 8:02am

The Galpharm Stadium – home to Huddersfield Town FC and the Huddersfield Giants Rugby League Club, host to International Rugby League matches – has appointed Lindley Venue Catering to manage the catering services at West Yorkshire's sports and leisure complex.

The five year £10.3 million contract will see the caterers taking the leading role in promoting and expanding usage of the multi-function site which was established in 1991 as a joint venture between Huddersfield Town FC, Huddersfield Rugby League Club and Kirklees Metropolitan Council.

On match-days, Lindley Venue Catering will provide catering for over 800 covers, 42 luxury, corporate hospitality suites and 16 'retail' kiosks at the ground.

Adam Elliott, chief executive officer of The Lindley Group, said:  "Having recently created Lindley Venue Catering as part of a strategic re-structure of our business, we're thrilled to have been awarded the catering contract at The Galpharm Stadium. 

"Whilst not only reinforcing our position as the leading sports stadia caterer, and adding to our growing list of rugby club venues – the fact that the stadium hosts both sports is an added bonus - this leading-edge stadium provides us with an excellent opportunity to demonstrate Lindley's capabilities in more general leisure venue catering.

"Through our extensive concert experience and connections we will be in a position to work with The Galpharm as a top concert venue to ensure that it remains firmly on the map for headline acts, and we'll be introducing a very proactive sales programme to maximise use of the venue for a variety of different events and occasions from tribute band gigs and business exhibitions to Christmas parties and weddings."
