MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE HOSPITALITY ULSTER TEAM 24 December 2024 Merry Christmas and a Happy New YearAs we gather to celebrate this festive season, we want to extend our warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We understand that this year has been particularly challenging for our industry and with the upcoming increases in the national minimum wage and employer National Insurance contributions in April, next year is likely to be even harder. Despite these difficulties, we remain hopeful and resilient. The strength and dedication of our industry have always been our greatest assets. Together, we have weathered many storms, and together, we will navigate these current challenges. We are here to support you, and we believe that by standing united, we can overcome any obstacle. Thank you for your continued commitment and hard work. Here's to facing the coming year with strength and solidarity.
