2023 was another successful year for the North East Hotelier Association (NEHA) - in partnership with over 50 of the regions hotels.
Proudly boasting 3,400 people employed in their industry, NEHA aimed to increase the number of talented professionals with the launch of their Hospitality Mentor Programme, partnering with the University of Sunderland to provide valuable practical skills and insight for students who are looking to pursue a career in the sector. They hoped and achieved that in doing this, support for the recovering industry would be strengthened post-Covid 19 and inspire young talent to pursue a role with them.
NEHA showed their support for Newcastle’s business community as the sales teams joined Get Into Newcastle’s spring clean, collecting rubbish from the Quayside and working together to keep the beautiful city at its best for their guests, as well as showing a reflection of the high esteem they hold for the city. Among those who accompanied them was the Maldron Hotel Newcastle, Delta by Marriott Newcastle, Staybridge Suites and DoubleTree by Hilton.
On the 26th of October 2023, over 400 attendees from hotels across the region gathered in anticipation at the Fed Brewery Gateshead to celebrate the annual NEHA Excellence Awards.
The glittering event showcased the outstanding hospitality of its members, as well as raising a fantastic £1546 for Hospitality Action and provided their well-deserving employees with their gratitude as they were served a delicious three course meal with fantastic entrainment – a good time was had by all.
Overall, 2023 was a promising year for the association, continuing to be a positive voice for the industry, their unwavering dedication to the further improvement and success of the hospitality industry is an inspiration to their partners, bringing together the leading hotels of the North East to ensure the bright future of North East hospitality.
