As the UK hospitality industry continues to deal with the effects of the ongoing pandemic, Jan Denning and associate partners has announced the relaunch of The Hospitality Partnership.
The Hospitality Partnership, working with approved industry partners and associates, aims to offer outsourced roles such as sales and business development, PR, social media, revenue management, financial control, training, reservations, food and beverage services, procurement, mystery shopping, business coaching and venue finding.
Six associate founder members and more than 20 associate team partners have joined the Hospitality Partnership to benefit both employers and job seekers.
The founding associate partners of The Hospitality Partnership include Jan Denning, owner of JD Enterprises, Jo Kenny, a sales professional, Russell Fraser, a travel, tourism and hospitality professional, Diane Lofthouse, freelance director of sales, Jack Appleton, managing director of Relentless Media and Sue Redmond, managing director of Sue Redmond PR.
Denning said: “This industry always comes together in times of crisis but we have never really seen anything on this scale before. It is heart-breaking to see good businesses struggle, continue to operate and plan ahead because of lack of resource and recruitment budgets cut. The Hospitality Partnership is truly the solution, whether long term or short term, whether a day a month or five days a week.
“I am delighted with the calibre and experience the partnership has attracted, covering a variety of key roles and skills, and we all have the one common objective, to get business back on its feet, cost effectively and without compromising service.”
Denning added: “Businesses will make their own choices and agree fees with the partner professionals, we make the introductions and recommendations. There are many benefits, but a main driver for our services is that businesses can operate efficiently and within budget, whilst saving on all the associated costs of permanent employees and the time consuming recruitment process. It gives the business total flexibility of an outsourced professional, while they choose how many days they are needed for and maintain full control of time and cost.”
