How Hospitality & High Streets Can Drive Regional Economic Growth

Hosted by

Pernod Ricard and UK Hospitality
The hospitality industry plays a crucial role in supporting high streets, growth, and jobs across the UK – but the sector has been hit hard in recent years with rising costs on business, and the cost-of-living impacting consumer spend. The industry supports around 3.5 million jobs, including many in small business, and with the right conditions can produce 5% growth year-on-year for the economy.

This discussion will look at ways the hospitality sector is evolving to meet present day economic challenges, and how local and national policies can continue to support growth over the short, medium and long-term. We will be hearing from Allen Simpson, CEO of UK Hospitality, Julia Massies Managing Director at Pernod Ricard UK, Liam Byrne MP, Chair of Business and Trade Select Committee and Claire Ward, Mayor of East Midlands. The session will be chaired by Rt. Hon Jim Murphy, Founder and Executive Chair of Arden Strategies.
