Bring back Golf
There was a video clip circulating on social media of Charles Walker MP speaking in the House of Commons last week. He was speaking about the extension of the lockdown in the UK. I do not know much about Sir Charles Walker, Conservative MP, or his political ideologies. But I do know, that for that short video I admired the compassion and empathy he spoke with on behalf of his constituents. If only we could witness the same compassion and empathy from our Political Leaders.

The Good, The Bad & The Recovery
The Government Supports to date have been critical to businesses across the country. It does not change the reality that our teams in our 5 businesses have been impacted or temporarily laid off 3 times in 9 months. This situation has been replicated in businesses across the country. The third lockdown was announced 3 days before Christmas Day. Suffice to say it was not a peaceful festive period for all, as many in our industry face an uncertain 2021.

The Headlines & The Realities of Hospitality
I have worked in the hospitality industry since 1990, I was hooked from the start and knew I did not want to do anything else. For 30 years, it has always been fast paced, frenetic and at times chaotic even. I saw it as an Industry that would always provide opportunities to those that worked hard, and even in the downtimes there would be work available.
