MAKING YOUR VOICE HEARD

cncarousel.jpg


Membership of Hospitality Ulster provides your business with an effective voice at every level of Government, campaigning for changes to legislation and fighting for fairer taxation at Westminster and the Northern Ireland Assembly- or challenging local authorities and statutory bodies to deliver better services and fair charges.


HU is your essential insurance policy; there when needed in times of crisis like the Covid pandemic, relentlessly standing up to Westminster and the NI Assembly, fighting for the very survival of your business. We are on the ground locally, fighting back when statutory bodies make life difficult for individual businesses through misinterpretation and unfair enforcement of laws and regulations. Today it might be Westminster, tomorrow it might be Warrenpoint.


Being your voice also means we must listen. That’s why all our board meetings now happen across the province and in the industry, with open sessions where we can listen, learn and share experience and knowledge.


If COVID has shown us anything, the need for a dedicated industry voice for hospitality has never been more important. That voice was, and is, Hospitality Ulster.
