Exciting Return of the Liverpool Hospitality People Awards in 2026

The anticipation is building in Liverpool as the Liverpool Hospitality People Awards prepares to make its grand return in 2026. This annual event is set to shine a spotlight on the individuals who fuel the city’s vibrant hospitality and visitor economy, showcasing their exceptional contributions to the industry.

A Celebration of Talent and Dedication

In collaboration with headline sponsors such as Liverpool Accommodation BID, Liverpool ONE, Saffron Vanilla, and Titanic Hotel Liverpool, the awards intend to highlight the remarkable talents within Liverpool’s hospitality sector. Categories will recognize both front-of-house staff and behind-the-scenes heroes, including awards for Rising Star and Unsung Hero. Notably, the prestigious Judges’ and Chairman’s Awards will honor those who have made a lasting impact on the sector, without public entry.

Supporting Charities Through Recognition

Peter Schriewersmann and Helen Roberts, Co-Chairs of the Liverpool Hospitality Association, emphasized that these awards are more than just a ceremony; they embody a celebration of dedication, passion, and hard work contributed by individuals and teams across all hospitality sectors. Importantly, the awards also aim to give back to the community, with proceeds supporting both local and national charities. Last year alone, the event raised over £25,000 for worthy causes.
