Stars of the hospitality industry were recognised at the Institute of Hospitality Aspiring Manager Awards Dinner at The Lansdowne Club on 29 October.
The awards, now in their ninth year, are organised by the Institute of Hospitality London Branch. Entries from across the hospitality industry were treated to a Champagne reception, four-course awards dinner and casino entertainment. The guest speaker was Michael Gray FIH MI.

Branch chairman Ben Singer MIH said: “The Institute of Hospitality is the Industry’s Professional Body as well as an Educational Charity. We support hospitality organisations and professionals throughout their careers, promoting CPD (continuous professional development) and rewarding hardworking talented individuals. One of the ways we do this is through our Aspiring Managers Awards programme. A Hospitality organisation can recognise and reward their talent through The Institute and their peers.”
