Discover the latest insights and trends in industry. Stay informed and engaged with our informative articles, updates, and expert opinions.

Michael Kill, Sacha Lord, Caitlin McAllister and Robert Richardson on what football and politics, specifically Burnham’s appointment, means for the UK’s night-time economy.

Politics and football are colliding again

And the outcome matters for every venue, operator and worker in the UK’s night-time economy.

On 17 July, Andy Burnham is expected to be appointed. Join the NTIA on Monday 27 July at 4pm as three leading sector voices unpack what it means for our industry — and what should happen next.

On the agenda:

  • What happens when Burnham is appointed on the 17th?
  • What can he do to help our industry?
  • The current challenges holding the sector back
  • The changes and support that would move us forward

Our panel:

  • Michael Kill – CEO, Night Time Industries Association
  • Sacha Lord — Chair, Night Time Industries Association
  • Caitlin McAllister — Managing Director, Ministry of Sound
  • Robert Richardson FIH MI — CEO, Institute of Hospitality

This session is free and open to everyone working in or alongside the night-time economy — operators, venues, suppliers, promoters and sector stakeholders. Bring your questions: we’ll be putting the best from the audience to the panel live.
