As the industry waits in a state of limbo for some clarity from the Government on reopening, Hospitality Union founder Jonathan Downey has urged operators to take things into their own hands. Speaking as part of The Manchester Hospitality Network’s Hospitality Returns Webinar, a virtual event discussing the future of hospitality in the city, Downey said that the Government were determined to ease restrictions slowly in order to “bring the public with them,” but that there is a clear role to be played by operators in leading the way for reopening.
