The British Hospitality Association, the trade association for the UK’s hospitality industry, has produced a 2015 overview of the UK food service management (FSM) sector which highlights insights on current and future trends shaping the sector. A regular publication of the BHA, the FSM report also looks at the sector’s current and prior performance and is the BHA’s 24th FSM-specific report.
The sector’s continued success – as employers, and in terms of its commercial, environmental and community-focused activities, is discussed. The latest findings from Oxford Economics’ research, which was commissioned by the BHA in early 2015, confirms that “the FSM sector’s annual turnover has grown each year since 1998 and has now reached £10.8bn”. The report also examines the sector’s efforts to control food waste and improve sustainability as well as the recruitment and retention of staff.
