About Us
We are membership-led, not-for-profit consortium of hospitality venues across the West Midlands. Our aim is to create a space where members can offer support, knowledge and valuable insight to assist their businesses while working together to promote hospitality as a career and the region as a destination. With members across the city centre and the wider Birmingham region, the association acts for the interest of its members and is the unified voice of the hospitality industry in the region.
The Birmingham Hospitality Strategy was developed with all venues in mind and with contributions from hoteliers themselves. The meetings provide unique networking opportunities and facilitates collaborative partnerships through the delivery of business tourism events, associate membership and regular attendance from key stakeholders across the region.
As the organisation continues to grow, we hope to develop and grow relationships within the sector and promote hospitality as a career of choice. The aim is to work closely with local colleges and authorities to offer opportunities for young people to grasp a better understanding of the industry and offer experience within a variety of roles.
