Regional Boards | Hospitality Action

The eyes and ears; the heart and soul. Our regional boards bring Hospitality Action to life, connecting us with local issues, people and opportunities.

Staffed by a dedicated team of Ambassadors our boards are a vitally important network. Their local knowledge ensures that we are readily accessible across the UK and that we’re plugged into the specific issues of each region.
