We met at The Grove in Hertfordshire on Tuesday 12th March 2024. A great turn out of UKHA London & SE members.
This year the UKHA is proud to support 'Walk for Wellbeing' returning for a fifth year in October 2024, promoting wellbeing and better mental health in our industry, whilst raising vital funds for Hospitality Action.
The Midlands & SW held our first meeting of 2024 at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City. It was great to catch up with all our Midlands members.
What a fabulous January meeting held at Native Manchester! A fabulous, busy Aparthotel, with a fantastic buzz about the place. Fantastic attendance with old and new faces welcomed. New members joining us for their first meeting and old members returning. Lovely to catch up with everyone.

We had an amazing start into 2024 - with the first UKHA Scotland meeting taking place at the Scholar Hotel, part of Edinburgh University with a great turn out!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, and on behalf of the whole UKHA we would like to thank you all for your continued support during 2023. So, Happy New Year and see you all in 2024!
Over 200 UKHA members and their guests from across the UK gathered at the Park Plaza Riverbank on Saturday 16th December for the London & SE annual Winter Ball. What an evening of festive frivolity! Fernanda Lewis, the London Chair led her committee in organising an amazing evening. Our review reads mainly like a huge list of thank yous to everyone who contributed to the event and made it such a resounding success. We can't wait until next year, how are they going to top that!
New leaders have emerged across various Regions, with Ruth Clark assuming the roles of Chair in Scotland, Lisa Williams leading Yorkshire and the North-East, Melanie Penn Chair of The Midlands and South-West, Jan Flynn Chair of Manchester and North-West, and Fernanda Lewis taking on the Chair position in London and the South-East. I extend my gratitude to Liana and Delia for their support and mentorship of our new Chairs throughout the latter part of 2023, and I remain committed to supporting Lisa in Yorkshire. Additionally we have welcomed new committee members and I warmly welcome you to the Family of the UKHA.
