Hospitality businesses from across Staffordshire will come together to discuss rising costs and industry pressures at a new sector-specific forum.
Launched by Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, the new hospitality forum will see local firms meet once a quarter to share best practice and collaborate on solutions to key challenges, while influencing local and regional policy.
Declan Riddell, Policy Adviser at Staffordshire Chambers, said: “The hospitality sector plays a crucial role in Staffordshire’s economy. This forum will give businesses a platform to connect, share ideas, and ensure their collective voice is heard.
“By working together, we can tackle the pressures facing the sector today and help shape a stronger, more resilient future.
“It’s also an opportunity for businesses to learn from each other, explore innovative approaches, and collaborate on practical solutions to challenges such as rising labour, energy, and food costs.
“By creating a space for open discussion and knowledge-sharing, the forum aims to strengthen the entire sector and support its long-term growth and sustainability.”
The inaugural meeting will take place on Monday 26 January 2026 at 9:00am at Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, with the option to join virtually.
Staffordshire Chambers members working in or supporting hospitality are welcome to attend by booking a space here.
