The awards, in association with Saffron Vanilla and Liverpool ONE will be hosted by the Titanic Hotel and Rum Warehouse, are a chance to celebrate the talented individuals at the heart of Liverpool’s lively hospitality and retail industry. The event is a chance to shine a spotlight on the brightest stars of the hospitality and retail community and honor some outstanding individuals who demonstrate passion, dedication, and commitment in an exciting sector.


The event will feature 17 categories including ‘Rising Star’ and ‘Unsung Hero’, awards for customer-facing staff and those working behind the scenes, as well as the Judges and Chairman’s awards that aren’t open for entry but recognise inspirational figures from within the sector. 

The Liverpool Hospitality People Awards also supports local and national charities with all proceeds raised through the event being shared with national industry charity Hospitality Action, and a local charity, which will be announced before the awards.  Last year, the awards raised a staggering £30,000 for good causes.

Applications are now open, with submissions being welcomed until 5pm on Friday 8th March. Both members and non-members of the Liverpool Hospitality Association are encouraged to enter.  A full list of categories and the entry form are available at www.liverpoolhospitality.org.uk/awards
