Partnerships

Our partners play a crucial role in our ability to deliver on our mission to create a more inclusive and equitable hospitality sector. 

Partnering with a broad range of companies, our collaborations broadly fall into three categories: Skills Development, Events, and Leadership Education.

Skill Development

To date, we have supported over 500 individuals to access qualifications, mentorship, funding, professional networks, and high-quality educational experiences. As a result, more than 70% have gone on to make step-changing improvements to their careers or businesses.

Partnerships that have enabled this include Caterer.com, OpenTable, Bibendum, Uber Eats, Decanter, the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, and many more.

Young Innovators Conference 2025 x London Borough of Barking & Dagenham (30 recipients)
Thrive in Wine Bordeaux Trip 2025 x Bibendum & Academie du Vin Foundation (5 recipients)

Events

Throughout the year, we deliver events ranging from 40 to 300 attendees. With a unique and diverse eco-system of leading hospitality operators to diverse individuals in hospitality, our events are consistently oversubscribed.

Our partnered events are designed to disseminate research, inspire action and educate attendees.

Launch event for the Seat at the Table programme 2022 x Mars Foods brand Ben's Original
Meet the Buyer Event 2024 x Distil Ventures, drinks founders & decision makers
Changemakers 2025 x Bibendum Wine - 3-part event series bringing together leaders in hospitality

Leadership Education

Our annual Inside Hospitality research has consistently highlighted limited access to education and learning focused on inclusion and belonging in hospitality. To date, only one in four respondents report having access to this type of education, while over 60% express a strong desire to access it.

Ongoing demand for our work in this area continues to reinforce this need.
