This is great news for the UK Hotel sector, and I do hope that some of the guests who were forced into a staycation this year have discovered that the UK can provide some stunning venues and locations for future staycatations. #Hospitality boutiquehotelier.com/staycation-boo…

Many businesses did not actually reduce their prices but used the reduced VAT rate to bolster their reserves, or just to help them to survive. On that basis they will hopefully NOT need to increase their prices too much now. #Hospitality bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

We here in the UK do have some of the best Chefs in the World. I can see why this would be appealing but please we have enough staff shortages already in hospitality without losing more chefs. KEEP IT IN BRITAIN PLEASE SUPPORT OUR COUNTRY. #Hospitality thecaterer.com/news/australia…

It's great to see that the Government are consulting with the Industry on this, but let's all hope THAT we don't need a Plan B, and that we can all continue to operate as we are. #Hospitality thecaterer.com/news/governmen…

The JRS has been a fabulous Government initiative, and it has benefited a huge number of businesses, and it will have saved very many businesses from certain closure. #Hospitality bighospitality.co.uk/Article/2021/1…

Now that we are all getting back to business in the Hospitality Industry, perhaps we COULD start looking at sustainability overall. #Hospitality bighospitality.co.uk/Article/2021/1…

The Government is making funds available to kickstart employment in our Industry. We need to use this scheme as much as we can, the £3000 on offer can go a long way to making it well worthwhile for employers to put in the necessary training. #Hospitality thecaterer.com/news/kickstart…

This just shows the fuller effect of COVID 19, and these closures will continue to happen until we get stability in the marketplace. We still need to be strong, and support each other. #Hospitality bighospitality.co.uk/Article/2021/1…

It is good to see some welcome relief for Hospitality in the Budget. Both Rates Relief and drinks tax reductions. #Hospitality bighospitality.co.uk/Article/2021/1…

Having a Plan B is always a good thing, the Industry, the UK, and indeed the whole world, needs to be ready just in case. a Plan B is needed. #Hospitality hospitalityandcateringnews.com/2021/10/cabine…

This is a useful checklist of things that we can ALL be doing to prevent and reduce costly 'no-shows'. #Hospitality morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2021/1…

THIS typifies the current Hospitality Crisis, where the shortage of labour is driving up wages, which in turn will drive up prices. Of course, Cost Prices are also increasing, pushing our Hospitality Industry Selling prices even higher. #Hospitality thecaterer.com/news/harrods-s…

The Government's pockets are regrettably pretty much 'sewn up' and whilst this £6000 per site WILL help, it will sadly be nowhere near enough for those in danger of closing permanently. And there is no Furlough Scheme in operation presently. #Hospitality bighospitality.co.uk/Article/2021/1…

Delighted to see the end of restrictions, but we still need to see Wales and Scotland moving that way too. We wish every single Hospitality business in the UK all of the very best for a speedy, and long-lasting, recovery. #Hospitality catererlicensee.com/removal-of-pla…

Most Hospitality business are still trying to recover, and those that are recovering are doing so very slowly, it would seem financially sensible to support an Industry that is bringing much needed employment, and money back into the economy. #Hospitality catererlicensee.com/government-mus…
