The hospitality industry has had a tough few years, coming off COVID and the cost of living crisis.

But you can help provide a local hospitality hero with a boost - for free - by nominating them for a regional award.

The Kuits NRB Top 50 Northern Hospitality Power List is set to return for its twelfth edition and nominations for the 2025 list are officially open. The prestigious list honours northern hospitality operators who have demonstrated exceptional commercial and critical success over the past year.

So whether it is a manager, owner or staff member of your favourite coffee shop or restaurant, who goes the extra mile, why not consider nominating them?

The unveiling of the full top fifty power list will take place on the first day of the Northern Restaurant and Bar (NRB) trade show in Manchester on Tuesday March 11 2025.

Winners will be chosen by a panel of top hospitality experts, with special achievement awards also being presented.

Additionally, two special achievement awards were handed out last year.

Given Macclesfield is a large town in the north west, and there is at least 50 winners, there is a strong probability that someone from our town could be given an accolade.

But you have to do the hard work to nominate them!

You can nominate a Macclesfield hospitality worker for the award, until November 8 2025, via THIS LINK.
