Hello and welcome
to the April issue of Venue Insight Magazine, THE MUST HAVE publication for the UK hospitality industry.
The clocks have gone forward and the UK is waking up from its winter slumber. If you listen closely enough you can hear the canopies being unfurled and the outdoor furniture being set up from Land’s End to John O’Groats.
If you’re thinking of playing live music in your venue then our PPL PRS feature is a must read. Live music is a wonderful thing when used effectively and has the potential to massively enhance your venue or event. The MusicLicence from PPL PRS has been introduced to help make playing music to the public more straightforward.
Cover stars Maidaid - supplier of high quality catering equipment including glasswashers, dishwashers, utensil/ potwashers, icemakers and espresso coffee machines spill the beans on why they remain at the forefront of catering technology.
The hospitality event season is well underway and we preview two great shows
this month. The European Coffee, Tea & Soft Drinks Expo is returning to Olympia, London on May 21st and 22nd 2019. We also see the 39th edition of the London Wine Fair – the U.K.’s biggest drinks industry exhibition which is taking place at the same London venue and also the same time so if you’re planning to do one you might as well do both!
The coveted Q&A spot this month goes to John Hall, Managing Director of YCR Distribution – one of the leading providers of Epos, Point of Sale equipment, Epos software solutions and cash counting hardware. If you’re thinking of updating your operating systems then this should help you make your mind up.
Kick back and soak up not only the warm spring rays but all of the recent on-trade news, innovation, ideas and essential products which will help keep your venue where it needs to be as we go into an exciting and hopeful season for the sector.
