Breaking News: AAHOA Celebrates NLRB's Withdrawal of Joint-Employer Rule Appeal. The NLRB has withdrawn its appeal of the Federal Court decision nullifying the joint-employer rule changes.

Patel: "This decision ensures hotel owners and franchisees are not held accountable for employment practices beyond their control." This brings much-needed clarity, allowing AAHOA members to operate confidently and fostering a healthier business environment.

Is 11am an acceptable time to have a warm spiced cider? Well, no time is aceptable if you believe the virtue signalling ‘I don’t drink anymore and I’ve never felt better’ gang… Meanwhile, back in the real world, after one of the more roller coaster years I’ve had in business, Covid aside, 11am feels more than acceptable. Therefore, as no one at all has asked, here’s a little festive end of year recap of the trials and tribulations of the good ship Berkeley Red and her intrepid crew… Despite our monthly feast or famine sales inconsistencies and what feels like a pretty tough economic environment to grow a young business - particularly in the last few months (thanks a bunch Labour/ Thieves Reeves and 2TK) we’ve had our best trading 12 months since we formed… We have just gone through £2 million of sales for the calendar year with circa £150/£175k of net profit. Small beer for some I’m sure but I’m really proud of the company & cool brand we’ve built and our core dream team of Kristen, Joe, Phoebe, Richard and last and very much least - even Paul - who have been intrumental in delivering this performance… Other bits of good news: ✅ Delivered our best Monaco Grand Prix programme to date hosting 200 VIP guests across SuperYachts, VIP Terraces, Parties, Private Jets, Luxury hotels, Helicopers & more ✅ Broke through £50k raised for PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide ✅ Welcomed 2 new investors to the Berkeley Red family with a £250k raise to help us grow to the next level ✅ Aquired/ took over a small events agency with its owner Richard Gillham (my right hand man for 15 years in a previous agency) joining us full time to bring added expertise, experience, knowledge not to mention much needed upper class poshness to Berkeley Red! ✅ Retained a major global car brand incentive travel business as a feather in the cap of our service ✅ Appointed as one of only 12 official hospitality agents for the British Grand Prix further cementing our position in F1 Few other things too but space dictates! I am certainly not counting our chickens, the trading outlook looks challenging and we are having a pretty poor December to take the shine off a largely positive year. To my fellow business owners - if you’re still in business and your head is above water that’s a win. For all the guff spouted on here this business lark ain’t easy! Lastly - a heartfelt thanks to our brilliant clients of course and to my regular supporters on here who support my particular brand of LinkedIn chutney, nonsense and marketing.. And thanks also to the abusers, trolls, haters, naysayers, sniggerers, ill wishers, poor reviewers and of course the champions who simply don’t get my content that make us all laugh.. I would say “signing off” until the new year - but we all know me being the shameless, onerous marketer that I am - there’s always an opportunity to sell you my stuff… Even on Christmas Day… Paul will be working of course to take your orders…

Relationships are EVERYTHING to me. Personally & professionally. Without great relationships, I would never have been able to get Legacy Club off the ground or get it to where it is today. I had the backing and support of friends, family and people I had met over the years to give me the confidence I was doing the right thing. Spending years building those connections and relationships at venues, clubs, hotels has given me the advantage over everyone else as my relationship with them comes from a place that wants to genuinely support our members and the venues, not just transactional 💵 My connection with our members is personal, not commercial! I want to see every single one of them win! With or without Legacy Club. If you’re just starting out, make relationships & partnerships 🔝 of your agenda. #Relationships #BeTheDifference #Partnerships #Building #Members
