Harri Named Winners for Business Innovation at the Springboard Awards for Excellence

Last week saw the annual event for people in hospitality, The Springboard Virtual Awards for Excellence. Everyone from the Hospitality industry, from Contract Caterers to Hotels, Restaurants, Pubs and Suppliers, came together to celebrate the heroic work of our hospitality colleagues and businesses over the course of the last 12 months.

With hundreds of entries, over 40 businesses made the shortlist. Categories varied from employee health & wellbeing and staff communication, to the best dine at home experience and most innovative alcohol strategy.

Springboard CEO, Chris Gamm, says: “Despite being faced with such adversity in 2020, the hospitality industry went above and beyond and deserves to be celebrated. All the winners have undertaken amazing work, achieving incredible results, despite the circumstances the sector has been faced with. Springboard are thrilled to be recognising them”.

Winners included D&D London, who won Best internal Covid-19 training; Dishoom won the Employee Health & Wellbeing award; and PPHE Group won Best Management Preparation. 

Harri were also delighted to be recognised for their innovation and support by winning the award for Business Innovation; an accolade for which we are very proud. 

During Lockdown #1 Harri created HospitalityUnite, the jobs portal which helped displaced hospitality workers find jobs in other sectors such as care and retail; over 300,000 candidates passed through the portal and it transitioned to a Kickstart portal, supporting young people in hospitality with over 1,300 roles in the process.

The full list of awards winners is here and we extend our congratulations to all the deserved winners!
