A brilliant day at the Buell Hospitality AI in Hospitality Workshop in Edinburgh, exploring what AI really means for hotels and operators.
From leadership and data strategy to brand, marketing visibility and practical integration, the focus was on turning AI from hype into actionable insight. The key takeaway? AI is a leadership issue, and those who approach it strategically will stay ahead. Great discussion, practical thinking and valuable industry insight throughout.

This week we attended a development day at the Brakes Reading depot for the Prosper Group heads and catering leads. We tasted an array of mouth watering dishes, delicious cakes, cookies and tray bakes, great to see the product innovation and menu ideas for the thriving garden centre sector. Terry from Stewarts Garden Centres Simon from Perrywood Garden Centres and Andrew from Stratford Garden Centre even ended up making their own flapjacks! A huge thank you to Richard, Peter, John, Sean and the team at Brakes for putting on such a fantastic event.

Stuart & Sybil had a brilliant day visiting Wells & Co. at their state-of-the-art brewing facility 🍺 There’s nothing better than getting out from behind the desk, spending time face to face and seeing our customers’ operations in action. Taking the time to understand how teams work day-to-day, and sharing ideas over a coffee (next time, maybe a beer!), it's what partnership is all about. Thanks for having us, always a pleasure.
