NIHF members Zoom ahead with spring webinar series
The Northern Ireland Hotels Federation is helping its members ‘zoom’ ahead legally as it launches a Spring Webinar Series with Belfast based law firm, McKees.
The webinars will cover key legal issues currently affecting businesses in Northern Ireland’s hospitality sector and will be delivered by McKees Managing Partner Chris Ross and Partner Andrea McCann, above right, along with barrister Ryan Cushley.
They include:
08 March 2022 “Post Pandemic Staffing”.
22 March 2022 “What new licensing laws mean for hoteliers”
05 April 2022 “Overseas Workers – Immigration”
Speaking about the series, Stephen Meldrum, centre, NIHF President, said: “The last two years have been very difficult for hoteliers, the tourism and wider hospitality sector. Brexit and the pandemic created a range of extremely challenging issues.
“We are now hopefully returning to more normal times and having listened to feedback from our members, the time is right to update and inform them on key industry issues.
“The Federation is delighted to be able to team up with law firm McKees to deliver a free Spring webinar series that looks at post pandemic staffing, the introduction of the new licensing laws and changes in immigration rules for overseas workers.
Chris Ross, above left Managing Partner at McKees, added: “Northern Ireland’s hospitality industry has been the most affected by lockdowns and restrictions which has put immense pressures on all businesses within this sector. Whilst all restrictions have now been lifted, the repercussions of the pandemic are still being felt – for example job vacancies are higher than pre Covid, creating all sorts of employment issues.
” I am confident that NIHF members will gain helpful insights from the webinars and we’re looking forward to delving into the topics and answering any related queries that businesses may have.”
