2022 saw a year of two halves – with the first 6 months seeing a strong recovery, and then fresh economic challenges hitting the industry in the later half.
With new areas of challenge such as rising inflation, spiking energy costs and increased economic and political uncertainty, what can we look forward to in 2023?
The Leisure Property Forum Annual Review is one of our flagship events and a must-attend event, providing attendees the opportunity to hear from our panel – major industry experts who will cover the economy, F&B market, non-food/Big Box Leisure sector and the investment market.
This year we are hosted by our generous sponsors, Fieldfisher
Our experts will review the big events of 2022 and look forward to how 2023 will shape up, tackling the economy, politics, the UK consumer and each key sector in our industry.
