What happens here
- Leeds United Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup home matches.
- Leeds United Women and academy fixtures where scheduled.
- Club events, conferences, banqueting and private hire.
- Occasional concerts and major non-football events.
Who runs hospitality and catering
Leeds United runs hospitality and catering in-house at Elland Road, after buying the catering and beverage rights back from Compass. The club’s own catering and matchday hospitality teams recruit across concourses, bars, hospitality suites and retail.
What’s it like to work here
Elland Road is loud, old-school and busy. It is not a new-build stadium with wide concourses everywhere, so event-day teams need to keep queues moving, manage tight circulation areas and look after a passionate home crowd. A single league fixture can require a large casual workforce, especially for high-profile evening games and cup ties.
For staff in Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield and Huddersfield, it is the main route into regular Premier League matchday work in Yorkshire.
Other operators
Specialist security, cleaning, traffic and facilities contractors may recruit around the busiest fixtures and non-football events.
