The last year has been an exciting journey for the Master Innholders organisation and we have seen our reach, recognition and engagement increase.
I am thrilled to report that my second year as your Chairman has been much more normal than my first! It is so wonderful that things are returning to our usual rhythm and our annual calendar is back on track. However, our industry is not the same as it was pre-pandemic and all of us face new challenges as we take this incredible profession of ours forward over the next few years.
I hope you enjoy reading this Annual Review.
