The highly anticipated Oasis Reunion Tour is set to deliver a significant financial uplift to the hospitality sector next summer. With expanded tour dates in cities like Manchester, London, and Edinburgh, local businesses are gearing up for increased footfall.   Marcus Jones of Capcon highlights the potential benefits: "This event presents a unique opportunity for hospitality businesses to capitalise on the influx of fans. Strategic promotions, enhanced service offerings, and targeted marketing can help maximise revenue during this period."   Caterers and hoteliers are already planning special events and promotions to attract concertgoers. From fan parks to themed drinks specials, the aim is to create memorable experiences that resonate with the fans. The excitement around these concerts not only boosts direct sales but also enhances the broader economic landscape by increasing spending across the hospitality spectrum.   Capcon advises hospitality businesses to prepare for this surge by ensuring they have robust operational strategies in place. Effective stock management, employee screening, staff training, and agile customer service are key to leveraging the full potential of this event. By aligning their offerings with the preferences of music fans, businesses can not only increase their profitability but also strengthen their market position in an increasingly competitive industry.   For further guidance on how to optimise your business strategy in light of major events like the Oasis tour, contact our expert team.

Studying accounting all those years ago if you told me I'd be recruiting crew for a clients luxury yacht one day I'd have never have believed you. As we welcome a new captain to the Oneworld team, I've been reflecting on the recruitment process. Finding the right accountant? That's relatively straightforward. But recruiting for maritime roles has been a different story! It’s not uncommon for our Charter Manager to say, "No they crashed into a bridge," or "They don’t have their COLK or some other maritime certification." For writing the Job ad I used Chat GPT however reviewing CVs still needed a human's knowledge of all the industry goss. This experience has deepened my appreciation for what accountants do best: navigating change, conducting research, and developing solutions. These skills are invaluable, especially when dealing with the unexpected. Running a business within my business over the last two years has been an incredible learning journey, and I’m grateful for all the insights gained along the way. #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #Accountants #Recruitment #MaritimeIndustry #xero #square
