We understand these are challenging times for the hospitality sector. However, we remain optimistic and committed to supporting businesses in navigating the complexities ahead.
Navigating Challenges in 2025
The hospitality industry is bracing for significant financial pressures following the Government’s October Budget announcement. The increase of £3.4 billion to the annual tax bill for 2025 poses a substantial challenge. Key factors include:
Increased Employer National Insurance Contributions (NICs): Higher NICs will raise employment costs, making it harder for businesses to sustain staffing levels and invest in growth.
Rising Wages: Mandatory wage increases add further strain to already tight profit margins.
In response, many businesses are urging the Government to mitigate the impact of these changes by introducing measures that protect both employers and their team members.
Opportunities Amid Challenges
Despite these obstacles, the start of a new year offers an opportunity to refocus and realign your business goals. Here are some steps to consider:
Streamline Your Operations: Evaluate your current FM strategies and identify areas for efficiency gains.
Invest in Your Team: Retaining and developing staff will be crucial. Offering training, incentives, and support can improve morale and productivity.
Optimise Costs: Partner with trusted FM providers to reduce overheads without compromising quality.
Enhance Guest Experiences: Ensure your venues remain inviting and well-maintained to keep customers returning.
