The British Institute of Innkeeping (BII) has announced a wide-ranging new partnership with The Pub Show @ HRC which will see the organisation managing a number of content sessions at the show, facilitating networking between members and running Helpline Live to troubleshoot common issues in pubs, bars and hospitality businesses.  

The Pub Show @ HRC is a section of Hotel, Restaurant & Catering (HRC) dedicated to the UK’s pub & bar sector, with insightful content, innovative suppliers across a diverse range of product categories, and opportunities for pub & bar owners and managers to network with industry peers.  

Steve Alton, BII CEO commented: “Coming together, sharing best practice and collaborating have always been at the heart of the BII, and The Pub Show @ HRC this year gave us a fantastic opportunity to bring some of our key members and ambassadors to the show to talk about their brilliant businesses.  

“We are delighted to be partnering with the HRC team to bring The Pub Show to life as part of this brilliant show once again. For anyone in the industry, taking time out of your business to network, attend panel discussions and source new suppliers is a must, and The Pub Show @ HRC will be a key date in the calendar for the extended BII team of colleagues, partners and ambassadors.” 

Philippa Christer, Portfolio Director for events including HRC and The Pub Show @ HRC, added: “The BII has been an invaluable resource and support for pubs & bars for over four decades and we’re delighted to be providing a platform for the institute and its members to share best practice, connect with new partners and debate the latest trends and challenges in the sector.”  

HRC takes place alongside IFE, International Food & Drink Event and IFE Manufacturing at ExCeL London on 25-27 March 2024. To find out more about The Pub Show @ HRC, and to keep up to date with the latest news and trends in the world of hospitality and foodservice, visit the hrc.co.uk/pub-show.
