Celebrating Excellence: The Return of the Liverpool Hospitality People Awards 2026
The Liverpool Hospitality People Awards, a cherished event in the city's calendar, is set to return in 2026, highlighting the remarkable individuals who contribute to Liverpool's dynamic hospitality and visitor economy. With strong support from prominent sponsors such as Liverpool Accommodation BID, Liverpool ONE, Saffron Vanilla, and Titanic Hotel Liverpool, these awards aim to honor the hardworking individuals across various sectors, including hotels, restaurants, bars, attractions, and visitor services.
A Celebration of Talent and Dedication
The 2026 awards will encompass 16 categories designed to spotlight talent in the hospitality sector, featuring titles like Rising Star and Unsung Hero. These categories aim to recognize not only the exceptional customer service personnel but also those behind the scenes whose efforts often go unnoticed. Additionally, the prestigious Judges’ and Chairman’s Awards will pay tribute to influential figures who have made a significant impact in the field, offering a unique opportunity to celebrate those who inspire others.
Impact on the Community
Co-Chairs Peter Schriewersmann and Helen Roberts of the Liverpool Hospitality Association expressed their enthusiasm, emphasizing that the awards are not just an event but a testament to the dedication and passion shown by individuals in the sector. They hope to see an increased number of nominations for the 2026 edition while continuing the tradition of supporting local and national charities. Last year's awards raised over £25,000 for charities, showcasing the event's commitment to giving back to the community.
