Briefing: the hotel industry in the UK

The hospitality industry in the UK is not a unique one. However, the gap between London and the rest of the country is seemingly getting larger. In fact the BBC reported this week that ‘London’s top ten boroughs alone are worth more, in real estate terms, than all the property of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, added together.’

Where is the future of the UK market? How has it been impacted by the continuing lack of deal-making? What hotel product will work well in this market? All questions raised and answered in this week’s briefing, with:

  • Chris Boulton, CEO of yoo on the UK polarisation
  • Joe Stenson, of Queensway Group and the growth in the budget sector
  • Peter Malone, Managing Director of Madison Mayfair on the UK fragmentation
  • And John Brennan, CEO of Jurys Inn Hotels on what he understands the UK market to be like

Briefing: preparing leaders for new world of work

Today’s business leaders are seemingly battling with multiple decisions all at the same time. Leaders are managing ‘Generation Y’ as they enter the workforce, digital technologies requiring a business to be working 24/7, as well as trying to comprehend macro-economic conditions, to name but a few.

This altering world means leaders need to be prepared and multifaceted, and it doesn’t seem like the role of CEO, Chairman and Managing Director are going to get any easier. In this briefing we hear from leaders as well as hospitality experts on the changing dynamic they are seeing. Including:

  • Richard Branson on keeping tabs on everything and everyone.
  • Debrah Dhugga, General Manager of Dukes Hotel on preparing new leaders.
  • Peter Malone, Managing Director of Madison Mayfair on the multi-dimensional aspect of leaders
  • And Graeme Codrington, Futurist at TomorrowToday on changes in leading organisations in this new world
