One sector that has definitely taken a hard hit this past year is the hospitality industry. With constantly changing restrictions and strict regulations to follow, it often seemed like they would never get a break.
However, our local businesses and entrepreneurs showed how truly inspiring and talented they are. Regardless of these challenging times, Leicestershire’s hospitality sector adapted with spirit and enthusiasm in order to keep the region’s economy afloat and their customers happy and safe.
In order to commend this dedicated work, the LeicestershireLive Business Awards, are held in association with Champions UK plc.
On Thursday, September 16, live at the Maher Centre, we will see 16 prestigious awards handed out to Leicestershire's business excellence. For more information, take a look at the online hub. For tickets, contact Michelle Roberts at mroberts@championsukplc.com.
There are five headline sponsors this year : Freeths, Mazars, Janine Edwards Wealth Management, De Montfort University and Diginius.
The Hospitality Innovation Award, sponsored by PPL PRS, celebrates restaurants and eateries that have brilliantly adapted their business to meet challenging COVID-19 restrictions. The finalists have transformed their delivery and eat-in services to provide safe and pleasurable dining experiences and have shown dedication to adopting new technologies.
