The hospitality sector is under pressure - and there's one clear change that could make a real difference.
Our own Steve Ashworth shares the story behind VATs The Problem, a national campaign calling for VAT on hospitality to be cut from 20% to 10%. Led by Tom Kerridge and backed by UKHospitality, the British Beer & Pub Association and many more, the goal is one million petition signatures and a Government that listens.
As the South West's home to thousands of brilliant pubs, cafés, restaurants and hotels, we're proud to support this campaign. If you work in hospitality, supply it or simply love it - please sign and share.
