What do Bill Clinton, Mayfair pubs, and competitive socialising have in common? In this episode of Talking Hospitality, we sit down with Jason Gale, Founder of the London Lifestyle Awards, to explore how public-voted awards are shifting the way we recognise excellence in hospitality.
We cover:
Why Jason created the awards (hint: it started with Bill Clinton!)
How Gen Z’s changing habits are reshaping nightlife
Why businesses that involve their teams in celebration keep staff longer
The rise of wellness, entertainment-led venues & consumer-first experiences
The risks of “pay-to-win” awards—and how Jason’s model avoids it
🎉 Thinking of entering the awards? Or just curious how recognition can drive retention, loyalty, and business growth? This one’s for you.
