Revitalising brands, optimising assets, rebuilding with resilience

Hospitality and leisure: Stabilising businesses built on experience

The hospitality and leisure industry has faced seismic shocks in recent years - from pandemic shutdowns and inflationary pressures to labour shortages and shifting consumer behaviour. While demand has recovered in many segments, operating costs, debt burdens and unpredictability continue to threaten viability across hotels, restaurants, venues and travel operators.

Margins remain tight. Expectations remain high. And reputational risk is immediate when service fails to deliver. In this environment, businesses need more than short-term fixes - they need structured, experience-led support to regain control and rebuild confidence.

Challenges we help solve

  • Liquidity shortfalls and cash-flow strain: Seasonal volatility, fixed lease costs and rising wages create critical pressure on working capital.
  • Labour shortages and wage inflation: Chronic staff turnover and rising wage expectations are disrupting service levels and profitability.
  • Debt burdens and financial stress: COVID-era financing, covenant pressures and cost increases are driving the need for refinancing or restructuring.
  • Changing customer expectations: Shifts in demand, digitalisation and experience-led consumption require businesses to adapt quickly or risk irrelevance.
  • Brand and reputational risk: In hospitality, public perception and service quality are intertwined - failure is visible and immediate.
