Event details


Join us for the launch of the Hospitality Collective in the South West.

We know just how valuable the right local network can be.

Running a hospitality business comes with plenty of opportunities, but also its fair share of challenges. Having a group of peers around you who understand those pressures can make a real difference.

Following our first hospitality event in the South West, we’re delighted to be bringing local operators together again – this time to officially launch the Hospitality Collective in the South West.

The Collective is designed to create a stronger network for hospitality business owners and leaders across the region. A place to meet peers, share experiences and discuss the issues that matter most to businesses in the sector.

Join Allica Bank for an evening of conversation, connection and good food alongside hospitality operators from across the South West.

We’ll be talking about the challenges and opportunities shaping the sector, from changing customer expectations and rising operating costs to investment, growth and the priorities businesses are focusing on for the future.

But above all, the evening is about bringing the right people together.

It’s an opportunity to make useful new connections, hear how other operators are approaching similar challenges and become part of a growing hospitality community in the South West.

Whether you attended our first event or are joining us for the first time, we’d be delighted to have you there.

Dinner and refreshments will be provided.

Places are limited, so please register to reserve your place.
