WHO WE ARE

Our Founders

The Independent Hospitality Association was founded by independent business owners running their own successful hospitality establishments in the UK. We know all too well the hardships small hospitality businesses can face in the current climate, and this is our solution- working together, relying on each others' advice and support to lobby for better treatment and legislation, and give a helping hand.

We made the IHA after experiencing the current climate for hospitality businesses, especially for independents, and we continue to grow and develop our answers to these difficulties every day.

WHAT WE DO

Our Services

Our people are what make us unique. We don't recommend contractors, accountants or other independent service providers unless we know them, and if we don't- one of our trusted members does. Together we verify and provide support for each other.

Outside of our recommended people and services, we fight for legislation with small businesses in mind, and provide an online platform for our members to share information such as example compliance documents, to sell and buy services and products from each other, and to give each other a helping hand.

Our dedicated procurement team are constantly locating and negotiating exclusive deals for our members. Have a deal for us? Contact our head of department here:

OUR VALUES

People First

We’re not here to support the big corporations; we’re here to make life easier for small businesses. The hospitality sector has been on a slow decline since COVID, but we have a plan.

The best way for independents in the UK to thrive is by coming together, supporting one another, and ensuring smooth operations for a brighter future.
