During our annual Christmas Lunch event we took stock of the year gone by and celebrated the achievements of a vibrant and innovative industry. We spoke to UKH colleagues and industry leaders who were at the event, to reflect on a busy 2018 and see what their hopes are for the sector in 2019.

The Spectacular Marketing Podcast had UKH CEO Kate Nicholls in the studio to talk about her trips to Downing Street to make sure that the 3.2 million people working in our sector get a fair deal and how the trade association is giving small businesses (who make up 80% of our sector) the support they need.

This podcast covers how we can all work to promote the reputation of the sector as a great place to work, invest and grow, and more.
