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…

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-…
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…
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…
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/kickstar…
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…
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…
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/australi…
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-5875…
