Hospitality and Leisure

If you are to succeed in the hospitality and leisure industry, it is essential that you protect your reputation and offer excellent customer care and service.

Your risk and liability can increase if you fail to comply with regulatory issues or health and safety requirements.

If you are relying on another business to deliver its products or services to you as part of your offering to a customer, you could be exposed if it is not clear who is responsible for what.
