Institute of Hospitality London Region

In these challenging times, with rising costs and increasing tax burdens wherever we look, it's absolutely right that the Institute of Hospitality brings some much needed positivity to our profession, and our latest sold out "Above & Beyond" event did just that, with a discussion about "Falling in Love with Hospitality" hosted by the wonderful team at The Goring hotel in London last night. Thank you to our incredible panelists, Michael Voigt FIH MI, Princess Mutea-Mcculloch, MSc(EH) and Peter Avis FIH for your exceptional contributions, to our sponsor Chris Gunton of CGA Integration Ltd, our Institute's team Sarah Peters BA FIH, Emma Ellis MIH, Isabel Hargreaves MIH and Sam Coulstock FIH MIEP and, of course, our guests for making the evening truly memorable. Despite the challenges we as a sector face, the mood in the room was one of optimism and positivity, and that gives me hope for a brighter future for our #HospitalityFamily #imin #MeetingOurMembers #Optimism #Positivity
