Togather started life as Feast It, in 2017, as a booking platform for people to book street food caterers for their birthday parties and weddings. Since then, we have grown to become the UK’s biggest events platform as Togather for food, drink, venues, photographers and so much more.

We’re here to help people make amazing memories on some of the biggest and best days of their lives. Whether they’re planning the whole-company summer party, hosting an epic dinner party, or running an entire festival, we can - and do - help with all of it.

Looker, Google Sheets).

  • Experience in defining and creating metrics for consumption by our BI tool and other services
  • Experience using data visualisation tools. We use Looker and experience here will be a big bonus, but other tools & experiences are of course still relevant.
