🔥 Ops Club Sessions: The Government Budget Breakdown For Hospitality - What You Need to Know!
The Autumn Budget lands the day before this session - and we'll be unpacking what it really means for hospitality operators, and what to do about it, while the ink's still fresh.
If you want to plan your P&L for 2027, now's the time to think about it - before the numbers are locked in.
Join us the morning after the Budget for a relaxed but insight-packed breakfast event. We'll be joined once again by Tom Stanley of Williams Stanley & Co and Alison Wong, CFO of private equity-backed boutique hotel chain House of Gods - plus special guests to be announced - bringing you an insider's view of what the budget means for our industry and how top operators are gearing up for next year.single-
Tom's 15+ years in senior finance roles (Corrigan Collection, Open House London) and his work as a fractional CFO give him a rare, across-the-board perspective - from founder-led independents to ambitious multi-site groups.
Alison is a Chartered Accountant with 15+ years in hospitality finance, with a true 360° view: from professional services and start-up FD roles to fractional CFO work and private-equity investment reviews. Her mix of hands-on and investor-side experience means she knows exactly how to balance creative growth with financial discipline.
Together they'll share what's really happening inside the numbers - and what operators should do now to stay ahead in 2027.
