Vinci To Manage Former Olympic Stadium
Vinci Stadium, a subsidiary of Vinci Concessions, has been selected to manage the former Olympic Stadium.
The stadium, at Queen Elizabeth Park, is currently being transformed into a multi-use stadium. It will host five matches of Rugby World Cup 2015 before fully re-opening in 2016 when it will become the home of West Ham United and the national competition venue for UK Athletics.
Vinci Stadium will be responsible for all aspects of running and managing the Stadium on a day to day basis as well as bringing in new events and activity.
West Ham United Vice-Chairman Karren Brady said: "Managing the basic day-to-day operations at a Premier League football stadium is a unique challenge, so we will be passing on our extensive experience and expertise to Vinci to ensure they provide the same high levels of service our supporters have become accustomed to at the Boleyn Ground.
"While Vinci will manage the functional aspects of the matchday operation, we will still be overseeing the overall supporter experience to make sure watching West Ham remains one of the very best days out in the Premier League."
