The UK food experience brand Togather has acquired bar operator Field Vision Bars.
Togather says that the two businesses will “continue to trade under their own brands and combined, they bring 60+ event experts together on a single combined F&B [food and beverage] offer.”
The two companies have a presence at festivals and venues such as Love Supreme Jazz Festival, Boomtown, Isle of Wight Festival, The Long Road Festival, Silverstone, Drumsheds and more.
Digby Vollrath, CEO & co-founder of Togather, said: “I met Tom in a pub in North London to talk about a co-tender we both wanted to win. We left that pub agreeing on something bigger: food and bars at events should be one operator, not two.
Today we are making it official. Togather has acquired Field Vision Bars.
This was the natural next step. One operator across food and beverage means a better experience for guests, more spend per head for organisers and a much simpler life for everyone running the event.”
Tom Curtis-Powley, founder of Field Vision Bars, said: “When Digby and I met, we both said the same thing we had both been thinking for a while: food and bars at festivals should be one job, not two. Today we made that official. Field Vision Bars has joined the Togather group.
I started FVB to do festival bars properly. Togather built the same thing in food. Putting the two together gives event clients one operator, one team and a guest experience that actually feels like it was designed on purpose.
We have already worked together on some brilliant events and the results spoke for themselves. This deal is the natural next step.
Nothing changes for our clients. Field Vision Bars carries on under its own name with the same team. We are busy operating and planning on Silverworks Island, Silverstone, Boomtown, Kendal Calling and our first joint Togather event, Blenheim Palace Festival.
Massive thank you to the team for everything we have built. The best is yet to come.”
