Happy Summer Solstice.
It’s been scientifically proven (with a ruler) that this is the longest day.
Have a lovely day whatever you’re doing.
If you’re having a bad day we hope it feels like the shortest day and know there will be better days.

@leonburton @RBWR @IoH_Online @Sacha_Lord @HospAssured Oh my goodness, this makes me so happy! Our incredible leaflets all together!!!!

[Robert Richardson FIH MI @RBWR]

A week on from the 2026 Institute of Hospitality Annual Dinner & Awards, and the feedback has been nothing short of exceptional.

We had the pleasure of welcoming more than 400 members of our #HospitalityFamily, travelling from as far afield as Singapore and Switzerland, to celebrate the passion, talent, and dedication within our profession.

What really stood out to me was that, whilst the challenges facing our profession have never been greater, our sector continues to invest in supporting and developing our teams. And against a backdrop of rising costs and the highest (UK) tax burden in history, the atmosphere throughout the evening was full of optimism, pride and celebration.

Thank you to our Events Manager, Emma Ellis MIH, and the team at the Institute of Hospitality for delivering such a fantastic event. Thank you also to Danny Pecorelli FIH for an inspiring keynote address, and to Phil Street FIH for making such a successful MC debut. But, most importantly, the evening belonged to our winners. Congratulations to each and every one of you, you are all incredible ambassadors for our profession.

Reflecting on the evening I was reminded that, against a backdrop of seemingly constant challenge, the Institute's sense of community has never been more important. Connecting people, inspiring people, supporting people and, most importantly, reminding them that they are never alone.

And, frankly, the feeling I took from that is nothing less than pure joy.

@FromHospitality @RosieDuffield1 @UKHospKate @Sacha_Lord @UKHofficial I feel that people no longer see passes their issues with @UKHospKate and that is a shame but it is also where we are.

Our bodies and minds are connected. So movement is a great way to enhance our mental wellbeing too

Another industry icon gone. How many more need to close? How many more jobs need to be lost? What does this Government need to see to realise their mistake? @UKLabour should be ashamed. Hospitality is the heartbeat of our high streets, villages, towns and cities 💔
