Spearheaded by @ChefTomKerridge we are backing the #VATsTheProblem campaign, calling for a 10% rate for all hospitality businesses, alongside other trade associations and industry colleagues.
Our members have consistently prioritised a lower rate of VAT, on a par with the majority of Europe, to stimulate growth and investment in our essential sector, and allow us to thrive.

Pubs & hospitality operators are being pushed to the brink by unfair taxes. Our members’ insight shows that less than 1 in 10 will be profitable following yet more taxes from the budget including Business Rates bills going up despite Government promises. Urgent action is needed.

On Monday, our founder Sam had the pleasure of attending the annual @apavementaway Cook & Dine lunch at The Waldorf Hotel
The event raised an incredible £73,741, funds that will go directly towards OAPA’s work helping to rebuild lives through employment in hospitality 🙌🏼
Challenging times for a sector that is so important in so many ways. So many incredible operators comprising their brilliant businesses offerings just to convert enough to stay afloat. Let's hope 'they' are listening 👂
Our CEO, Steven Alton CBII spoke with BBC News earlier today, discussing the rising costs that have hit our hospitality sector. In order for our sector to grow we need better support for pub resilience across the nation. #OurPub

On Monday, it was a pleasure to join the Everards team, @UKHospKate, Jackie, and fellow Leicestershire operators for some open conversations about the current state of hospitality.
Thanks to Everards MD Andy Wilson and the team for organising and hosting the session.
Our 'now' annual KAM X @BeautifulPubs day at @AscotRacecourse 🐎
Such a brilliant day with such incredible people. Even had few winners too! 🙌🏼
Such a brilliant session at 'The Informants presents The EX Factor' on Thursday at Market Halls in London! It was an absolute privilege to be part of the speaker lineup, exploring a new era of employee experience alongside the incredible KAM team Katy Moses CBII and Katie Jenkins as well as Dan Hawkie, Tess Hearn, Amy Mellors, Bharti Radix, Kimberley Handy & Louisa Howie.
A huge thank you to Richard Hartley for leading our conversation, and to our partners at S4labour for making it happen.

We’re proud to support @UKHofficial ‘s #TaxedOut campaign. Hospitality is being taxed out of growth and the Government must change course in the Budget.

“Whether they’re spending £10 or £100, you have to make sure they are spending it well and will remember it. Our aim is to do the common things, uncommonly well.” Great to see @samhagger FBII @BeautifulPubs recognised at the heart of regional growth👏

Another inspiring day yesterday at the Sky Campus in Osterley, meeting the finalists of this year’s prestigious @BIIandBIIAB Licensee of the Year Award, and once again supporting the judging process by sitting on the 'People & Development' panel. Looking forward to seeing the winner announced at today's Summer Event!
A huge thank you to @Bigdiffco Alternative Business Awards & the brilliant Sarah Higgins for my 'Glass Half Full' award recognition. I'm so sorry I missed the event but I've heard it was another incredible evening 🙌🏼
