groups and travel operators, what inspired you to get into the hospitality business in the first place?
young people I worked in hospitality venues before becoming full-time employed and relished the fast-paced environment where teamwork and camaraderie was everything. I started my professional career in retail which as a consumer-facing industry enjoys many synergies with hospitality. No two days are the same and the sector attracts a diverse group of interesting people who share my work ethic and love of social interaction. I couldn’t imagine myself working anywhere else.

What differentiates Anthony Gregg Partnerships in the industry for high end recruitment in the
Food is one of my great passions in life and so the sector has always felt like a natural fit. Like many
businesses sadly won’t survive. Those that do will need to tear up their old strategies and adapt their businesses to reflect the huge structural shifts that have taken place. One example is the rapid digitisation of the sector – a change that was already in process pre-pandemic but has been turbocharged over the past 12 months driven by lockdowns and the need to maintain social distance.

Persuading people to leave secure jobs at this time will be challenging and therefore leaders will need to place extra emphasis on developing their own talent through training and coaching. Employee wellbeing will also be of utmost importance as people adapt to new ways of working. Front of house staff will need to feel safe and supported while for managers and executives the days of spending five days a week in a head office are firmly in the past.
Leaders will also need to carry out an honest audit of their own leadership and that of their executive team? Are they the right person to take the business through this period of rapid change and disruption? Do they need to move people on and bring in fresh blood? If they are confident in their team then they need to invest in retention including executive coaching.

Businesses are hurting but the sector is hugely resilient and adaptable and will ultimately bounce back.
