Dear Sponsors, Alfresco Drinks Ltd - BB Merchant Services - Bespoke Hotels - Guarantee Laundries|B Corp - Hatch Mansfield - HotelPartner Revenue Management - Institute of Hospitality - Preferred Hotels & Resorts - Rogervoice - Champagne Taittinger - Thomas Franks Ltd - TWO Services Ltd. - VisitEngland The Accessible Hospitality Alliance team extend our deepest thanks to each of you for your generous support and your shared commitment to a more accessible and inclusive future for the hospitality and catering industry. Your involvement means so much, it’s a very powerful statement. It says that you see the value in every individual, that you believe people with disabilities deserve equal access as guests of our industry and as valued colleagues within it. Your support helps give voice, visibility, and opportunities to those who have been overlooked for far too long. It’s easy to talk about change. What’s harder, and what truly matters, is doing something about it and sticking to that task even when the going gets tough. And that’s exactly what you are doing. By standing alongside this initiative, you’re helping to break down long-standing barriers and showing that when industry brands and people come together with purpose, real change can happen and is underway. The steps forward will sometimes seem small, and they may well be, but every step forward leads to the next and builds the foundations of change. Thanks to you, we are starting to imagine a future where more and more people with disabilities can thrive in meaningful careers in our industry. A future where families and friends can enjoy meals out together without worry or limitation, because access isn’t an afterthought, it’s a constant. You are helping to make that future possible. Your belief in aha’s purpose is helping to shape an industry that welcomes everyone, one that doesn’t just talk about accessibility and inclusion, but builds it into every plate served, every door opened, and every opportunity offered. Thank you for your willingness to lead in pioneering change, acting with integrity, and helping to lay the foundations for a better, more accessible and inclusive tomorrow. With sincere gratitude, The Accessible Hospitality Alliance Team

Wonderful to join our Institute of Hospitality members this week in my home county of Kent, where we, alongside Shepherd Neame, Britain’s oldest brewery, had the pleasure of celebrating Great British beer. This event was a fantastic opportunity to join our #HospitalityFamily across a total of 290 pubs, and to discuss both the significant challenges they face, and the exciting possibilities they see ahead. It was truly inspiring to hear how their commitment to training and development is paving the way for professional success, especially at a time when over 400 pubs have tragically closed their doors. Pubs are so much more than places to enjoy a pint; they’re the beating heart of countless communities. They provide a sense of belonging, and for some a route away from isolation. They are something to be celebrated, as is the incredible skill of the brewers that craft the beer, whilst vitally supporting the local economies that they serve. Well done to the Institute of Hospitality South East Region team, led by Michael Wood FIH, Sarah Powell (Chartered MCIPD) MIH and Leanne Silavant MIH IS, and to Shepherd Neame Ltd CEO Jonathan Neame for hosting such a valuable event, and an invaluable opportunity for our pub and brewery sector voices to be heard. #imin #MeetingOurMembers #InspireMotivateLearn #StrongerTogether #IoHSouthEast #Pub #BritishBeer #Brewery
