What is Midlands Hospitality Network?
If you work in hospitality in the Midlands, chances are you’ve heard about Midlands Hospitality Network (MHN) — or maybe you’ve even joined us for one of our events. But if you’re new to the name, here’s what we’re all about.
MHN is a hospitality-focused networking group created to bring operators together across the entire industry — from chefs, waiters, and GMs to educators. We exist to foster meaningful conversations, build real connections, and support the long-term sustainability of hospitality in the region.
Who is MHN for?
Simply put — anyone with a passion for hospitality. Whether you’re a student just starting out, or a head chef with decades of experience, there’s a place for you at the table.
Our events are designed to break down the usual silos — so you’ll meet people from all areas of the industry, not just your niche. That’s what makes MHN different. It’s not just networking — it’s about collaboration, learning and driving positive change.
What’s new for 2025?
This year, we’re evolving. MHN now hosts panel discussions as part of our events — bringing in expert voices to discuss the issues that matter most to our industry. These panels help us move beyond surface-level networking into honest conversations with real solutions, from sustainability to workforce challenges.
With a panel format, our discussions are more rounded, representative, and valuable to the people in the room. We want honest insights, practical advice, and lively debate — not just another keynote speech.
How you can get involved
To keep growing MHN into the most valuable network for hospitality professionals in the Midlands, we need your help.
We are looking for:
Attendees!
Panellists – industry experts and professionals with a story to tell, a challenge to highlight, or a solution to share.
Venues – amazing hospitality businesses across the Midlands who want to host an event and show off their space.
Sponsors – suppliers, brands and businesses who want to support the network and gain genuine visibility with the region’s hospitality community.
Why MHN matters
Hospitality is all about people. It’s an industry built on relationships, and we believe the most substantial relationships happen face to face, over food, drink, and honest conversation. MHN gives our region’s hospitality professionals the chance to connect, collaborate and create change — together.
So, whether you want to share your expertise, host an unforgettable event, or simply be part of the conversation, MHN is your platform. Let’s put the Midlands on the map as a region that champions its hospitality people, supports its businesses, and leads the way in building a better future for the industry.
