We are proud and excited to be working with Grant Thorton UK as our venue sponsor and we popped into Grant Thornton’s new offices last week – and they’re stunning. The views over the City are incredible (see above!) and the space is perfect for what we have planned.
Imagine yourself catching up with other Members over a glass of wine or a beer on the terrace in the July sunshine!
As we count down to the ABTOT One-Day Forum on 10 July 2025, we’re turning to the second of our three core themes: Financial Insight.
With markets shifting amid new tariffs and political uncertainty, understanding what’s ahead for the UK economy and travel industry is more important than ever.
We’re pleased to welcome Frances Haque, Chief Economist at Santander UK, to lead our morning session. Frances offers expert insight into today’s economic landscape and how to plan for what’s next.
