A useful and constructive meeting in Westminster today with Daisy Cooper MP, alongside our Institute of Hospitality Chair, Martin Traynor OBE FIH.
Our discussion focused on professional development opportunities for our hospitality profession over the next decade, the challenges we currently face, and how these can impact our ability to unlock the full potential of our people. We also shared progress on our Chartered Status application, and the wider public benefit it represents for both the profession and the communities we serve.
Daisy continues to be a strong and consistent advocate for our
#HospitalityFamily. At a time when it can feel as though our profession is not always being heard, with hotels and hospitality venues facing significant increases in rates bills, and pubs closing at a rate of one per week, it is both encouraging and important to engage with those who recognise the value, scale, and significance of hospitality to the UK economy and society.
Because, simply, when people are out of work, they cannot develop their skills, grow as professionals, or give back to the communities and economies that rely on them.
And because, when hospitality is understood, it is supported, and when it is supported, it thrives.
