The View from Westminster: Inside the Political Decisions Impacting Hospitality Operators Today
In a keynote address, Allen Simpson, the newly appointed CEO of UKHospitality, offers a front-line view from Westminster, exploring the legislative shifts and political decisions that are reshaping the UK hospitality landscape. From recent changes to National Insurance Contributions and short-term business rates relief to tightening immigration rules, employment law reforms, and looming sustainability regulations, the pressures on independent operators are mounting. Allen will unpack what these developments mean in real terms for hotels, and share how UKHospitality is ensuring the sector’s voice is heard where it matters most.
With a new Parliament in place and long-term reform still on the table, this session will shine a light on how government is engaging with the industry, and where it needs to do more. Expect insight into VAT lobbying efforts, staffing policy negotiations, digital infrastructure, and the path towards a fairer, more resilient hospitality economy. Following the keynote, Allen will take live questions from the audience, giving operators the chance to ask directly how policy decisions are being influenced.
