This year the awards are open to applicants from across the globe, from any hospitality segment and specialism, across small to large hospitality organisations.
Announcing the dinner and award celebration after its two-year absence due to the pandemic, IoH CEO Robert Richardson FIH confirmed: “This year our awards are global. Hospitality entrants are not limited by their organisation’s size, IoH membership status or location. Inclusivity is key. We want to recognise the ‘best’ talent from across our amazing industry and applaud their achievements and success.”
The winners will join IoH CEO Robert Richardson FIH, the judges and esteemed guests at the celebratory Annual Dinner & Awards in London on American Independence Day.
“The IoH Annual Dinner will be an amazing evening of celebration and positivity as we announce the award winners. I hope to see many old and new friends at the event” explained Robert.
