Playing Sport and Hospitality at The May Fair Hotel
EP Presents: Playing Sport and Hospitality at The May Fair Dinner – Thursday 6th April 2017We are delighted to host a dinner at the historic May Fair Hotel that brings the worlds of sport and hospitality together. The evening hosted by both EP and Simon Halliday of The Sporting Wine Club aims to raise the discussion and build awareness for how the worlds of sport and hospitality are converging and asks the question of whether more can be done to link the two cutting edge professions? The aim for the evening is to create an enjoyable, unique setting that allows for informal discussion and the development of the theme.

- Could former sports players help hospitality develop their services in the fields of nutrition, well-being and fitness?
- Are there lessons both can learn from the other?
- Many former sports players are developing entrepreneurial concepts. How can Hospitality gain from their invention? And vice versa?
- Many former and present sports players own or invest in hotels and restaurants. How can this be nurtured?
- Is there a talent pool amongst former sporting figures that can be better used by Hospitality?
- There is a view that the concept of sports resorts will grow within the UK as executives become fitter and more health conscious. This will bring both worlds together.
- Together what new opportunities can be developed?
- Together can we create a new sense of purpose for many.
