Although we have implemented many sustainable practices, our journey has really only just begun, we have many more ideas and changes to implement because we regard sustainability as an ongoing process of continual improvement.”

Commenting on their win, Mark Thomas at St Monica Trust said: “We’re so grateful to Hospitality Assured for this Sustainability award, and for their support and guidance over the past decade. We have worked really hard in a number of areas such as food waste, energy and water consumption and our sourcing in recent years, gaining our first star from the Sustainable Restaurant Association. This award is testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone at the St Monica Trust in caring about the planet in the same way we do our people.”

Hospitality Assured, Director, Heather Lishman adds: “The Hospitality Assured Awards are a tremendous achievement for all our finalists and winners.  They all continue to work extremely hard to maintain their position as industry leaders and truly deserve their awards.  Much of my time is spent meeting with and assessing premises in the UK and around the world.  These winners stood head and shoulders above the crowd and I would like to congratulate them for all they have done.”
