Secretary Jonathan Reynolds recently affirmed:
“Businesses in our retail, hospitality and leisure sectors are foundational to our economy and our high streets. They are big employers in every community across the UK, offering accessible jobs and opportunities and providing spaces where communities can come together — they are the glue that binds us together as a
society.“Richard has already convened two hospitality roundtables, bringing together hotel and caravan park businesses from the Island and beyond to discuss the government’s growth plan and offer their perspectives on how additional support can be provided to the sector. He is committed to continuing this engagement and will be hosting future roundtables with representatives from other areas of the hospitality industry, looking forward to gathering further insights from a diverse range of voices.”
Reflecting on his appointment as a Business Champion for the Hospitality Sector, Richard Quigley MP said:
“Being named a ‘business champion’ has given me the opportunity to speak directly with hospitality businesses across the country and understand how Labour can help further strengthen the sector.
“As the owner of a hospitality business myself, I know the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to succeed. That’s why I’m passionate about supporting those who serve their local communities so tirelessly.
“I look forward to continuing to hear from hospitality businesses on the Isle of Wight and beyond, ensuring their needs remain a top priority.”
