The webinar, organised in partnership with Hotel Restaurant & Catering, will examine the support available for hospitality professionals and will begin to map out the path to reopening. Virtual attendees will be able to ask questions during the Q&A session.

Nicholls commented: “There are positives to take from the Chancellor’s Spring Budget, as well as some challenges to ensure that the Government’s intents are deliverable equitably across the sector.

“Now it is vital that the Government sticks to its date of 21 June for a full reopening of hospitality. We are hugely looking forward to exploring the details of the Budget and the ramifications for the hospitality industry at the event on 9 March.”

Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced plans to extend the furlough scheme, reduce VAT rate to September and grants for hospitality businesses.

Ronda Annesley, event manager for Hotel, Restaurant & Catering, added: “Kate and her colleagues at UKHospitality have been a leading light for the food, drink and hospitality industry throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

“They’ve provided vital advice, analysis, support and advocacy over the past 12 months and we’re pleased to be able to offer this opportunity to deep-dive into yesterday’s announcement and take a closer look at the potential impact on our sector.”
