Slope Off Friday

#SlopeOffFriday relaxed yet dynamic business networking over a spot of lunch @ Kent's finest eateries: 1st Friday of month 2pm with @julesserkin FSB

[Robert Richardson FIH MI @RBWR]

The Institute of Hospitality is not, and since 1938 never has been, a lobbying organisation. What we are is a huge, influential global community of hospitality professionals with a credible, respected voice.

Since 2021, our collective voice has grown in reach and influence, engaging with governments in the UK and beyond and delivering demonstrable impact, including the development of the UK government-recognised standard for hospitality recruitment.

And as we look ahead, our focus now turns to where that voice will be heard next. With that in mind, it was useful to meet with my colleague Andrew Henderson, Secretariat to a number of All Party Parliamentary Groups, to discuss future opportunities for our Institute to support the continued professionalisation of our incredible #HospitalityFamily.

And this matters, because it reinforces something incredibly important:

Hospitality is a profession of opportunity. Where anyone, from any background, can grow, develop and thrive, while making a meaningful contribution to our economy and the communities we serve.

And that is what we champion, and where our work makes a real difference, for hospitality professionals and for our guests.

And as our profession continues to evolve, so too will the strength and reach of its voice.

[Robert Richardson FIH MI @RBWR]

No single organisation has all the answers, but through strong collaboration we strengthen our collective ability to inspire, motivate, and grow our #HospitalityFamily.

And with that in mind, and as a busy new year starts, it was wonderful to take time out for lunch with my colleague Jane Pendlebury MIH, CEO of HOSPA, a valued partner whose courses receive professional endorsement from the Institute of Hospitality.

Our two organisations have always enjoyed a strong relationship, and in 2026, we will look to build on those robust foundations, exploring partnership opportunities to better support our profession, and the incredible people who are a part of it.

@TRobinsonNewEra I've just read a second has died and a third is fighting for their life.

It's just terrible. Every single day. Makes you want to stay inside forever.
Prayers for those passed and the one fighting. 🙏

[Gen X of the North @Northern_GenX]

@TRobinsonNewEra Another stabbing. Another life lost. And still, Sadiq Khan tells us London is “safe.” Trump was right - it’s chaos under Khan.

[Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 @TRobinsonNewEra]

Trump is right about Sadiq Khan.

A person has died and three others have been injured after a stabbing in south east London this afternoon.

🚨BREAKING: The WEF rigged data to make Brexit appear unsuccessful, the Telegraph reports

The Globalists are in full panic mode.

[Rob Moore @robprogressive]

The UK is on the verge of bankruptcy - national debt has hit £2.7 trillion, almost 100% of GDP.

That means the country owes as much as it earns.

That kind of debt fuels inflation, weakens your savings & makes you poorer.

And there’s only one thing the government will do next: raise taxes

Why are people who’ve never run a business in charge of the economy?

[Jennielovesfacts @ChappellJe13586]

So these fighting age men (Over 70% are men) fleeing their country due to persecution. They have left all the woman and children to continue the persecution so that the men can travel through many countries (Not stay at the closest safe country to their family) to get to the UK.

Make that make sense….

@LizKershawDJ @reformparty_uk Watch Katie Hopkins latest report - she’s borderline in tears showing what’s being done to our beautiful countryside. Vandalism.

@LizKershawDJ @PetenShirl @reformparty_uk Could you imagine convincing the country solar is the future

Then a few weeks later state your dimming the sun 🤔

[jules serkin @julesserkin]

@LizKershawDJ @reformparty_uk we are fast losing our famous orchards here in #Kent & yes building all over farms - #Thanet often gets veg crops much earlier than the middle of England too - It’s criminal to destroy our #food @riversideros @LittleStourOrch @JoannaBlythman @SaveBritishFood

@paullewismoney More property scams - like retirement homes which rapidly become unsaleable and unaffordable due to rocketing 'service charges' and restrictive selling practices - wringing the elderly dry.

[Slope Off Friday @SlopeOffFriday]

@paullewismoney @OurWestgate same in #Canterbury #Kent & not even shared ownership - repairs not done , lifts not working , company trying to buy back apartments owned for years !” it’s all a scam ! @KM_newsroom have been told but didn’t bother to write about it ! Residents in despair

[Paul Lewis @paullewismoney]

The scam that is shared ownership, the sham that is affordable https://t.co/NSo0sC4Y54
