Hospitality suites created at Leeds United FC ahead of Premier League return — The Business Desk 5/9/25

Sports and stadium interior design specialist, DT Sports,
has again teamed up with Leeds United FC to design and deliver a collection of
hospitality suites and corporate entertaining spaces at Elland Road.
The project, which comprises 12,000 sq ft of refurbished
hospitality space, was planned so it could be delivered during the summer
closed season ahead of the club’s return to Premier League football.
Four new suites include the LUFC 1919 Suite; The Gary Speed
Suite; Peter Lorimer Steakhouse; and The Hisense Leeds Lounge.
LUFC 1919 is a premium suite for 60 people and its name
references the year the club was established.
The Gary Speed Suite has been designed to host up to 150
guests while also providing a flexible venue for conferences and meetings on
non-match days.
The Hisense Leeds Lounge can accommodate 350 guests in a
flexible dining suite for both matchday and non-matchday use.
Finally, the Peter Lorimar Steakhouse is a contemporary take
on a classic “BBQ joint” with capacity for 100 covers.
Leeds United head of IT and facilities, Mark Broadley, said:
“We strive to provide exceptional corporate entertaining and hospitality
facilities at Elland Road and are committed to continually investing in the
guest experience for matchday and beyond.
“The team at DT Sports have worked very hard to deliver four
outstanding new suites for us, all completed in a short, closed season.
“These new spaces take our offer to the next level, and the
response from guests and spectators in the first few weeks of the season has
been fantastic.”
DT Sports is a specialist division of Yorkshire commercial
interior design company Design Tonic dedicated to designing and delivering
exceptional hospitality and sports spaces. 2024 marked Design Tonic’s sixth
year working with Leeds United.
Design Tonic co-founder, Amanda Cook, said: “We are
extremely proud of our longstanding partnership with Leeds United, and it has
been a privilege for our DT Sports division to deliver these latest projects.
“The club has taken a bold step in redefining its corporate
hospitality, creating experiences that truly stand apart.
“Delivering multiple suites simultaneously, alongside a
range of partners and to a tight deadline, was a significant challenge but the
entire DT Sports team rose to the occasion.”
