Speaking of the initiative, Claire Bosi, editor of Chef & Restaurant magazine, said;

“Choose Hospitality is about the industry creating a bridge of communication directly to those who are training for a career in the sector, at the same time encouraging more school leavers and job-swaps to consider the profession. The response from all areas of hospitality has been fantastic, we have an incredible array of ambassadors and supporters – all 100% behind this initiative who will remain with us throughout our journey to promote the excellence of UK Hospitality.

As professionals, we all know how exciting, rewarding and vibrant working in hospitality can be. The time has come for the industry to promote this outward to the general public.

Choose Hospitality belongs to the whole sector, and we hope that, once launched, we can encourage more professionals to join us as ambassadors and contributors – to continue to promote our wonderful industry from within”

Kathy Dyball, Brand Director, Caterer.com, commented:
