Speaking after the launch of the Investment Summit, UKHospitality is highlighting the crucial role hospitality plays in securing investment.
Kate Nicholls, Chief Executive of UKHospitality, attending the Government's Investment Summit reception, and met with Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London.
Kate Nicholls, Chief Executive of UKHospitality, said: “We’re delighted to see the Government focus on the importance of placemaking, both as part of the Investment Summit and in its plans for the Industrial Strategy.
“Hospitality is an integral part of investment decisions that cannot be overlooked. Companies setting up a new office or relocating staff to a new city or country want to make sure their teams see a place as attractive to live. Hospitality is the foundation of all of that.
“Our sector has the power like no other to regenerate our high streets, towns and cities, making them attractive destinations for investment. This will be essential in the years to come to create new jobs and power economic growth.
“Hospitality’s track record of creating places where people want to live, work and invest is unrivalled and I look forward to working with the Government as it develops its Industrial Strategy.”
