"I’m delighted to be stepping into the role Chair of Trustees at such an exciting and important time for the charity. In my existing role as a trustee, and during my professional life I have seen how Hospitality Action’s work has made a positive impact on people’s lives during a time of difficulty.
Our industry needs Hospitality Action, now more than ever before, and as a life-long supporter of the charity I can’t wait to get more involved to support the strategic direction and ambitious growth plans the team are developing."

"When we created the 'Back to the Floor' event over ten years ago hospitality was a very different place. Hospitality Action has worked tirelessly to help people facing a crisis and to champion wellbeing in the workplace.
It’s an honour to join the board of Trustees and I can’t wait to support Jonathan, Mark and the whole team as they continue their fantastic work raising as much money as possible to help improve the lives of many more hospitality colleagues."

"Hospitality Action play such a vital role in supporting some of our most vulnerable colleagues and peers, providing financial, practical and emotional support when it is needed the most.
In recent years, I have been fortunate to work alongside the charity and have been impressed with the team‘s unrivalled commitment to make a positive difference.
I believe we all have an opportunity to play a part in achieving that difference and feel extremely honoured and proud to join the charity as Patron."
Michel Roux Jr.
“I’m absolutely delighted to be a Patron for Hospitality Action – not only does it provide fantastic support for our colleagues across the full spectrum of the hospitality industry, but it’s also something that’s close to my heart. My late father and uncle were both supporters of Hospitality Action, and I couldn’t be prouder to continue the Roux tradition of supporting our much-loved industry.”

“Hospitality Action works tirelessly to support people in our industry. Beneficiaries can be any age, and their challenges range from poor mental health, anxiety and addiction to relationship pressures, isolation, and financial worries.
We are delighted to lend our support to such a respected charity that supports tens of thousands of people every year. Together we will do great things”.

Hospitality Action do just that."
At Hospitality Action we take governance very seriously and I'm delighted that we continue to benefit from such a breadth and depth of experience.
