CORNISH hospitality businesses are to be the first to benefit from a new national initiative to improve their performance.

‘Be the Business’, a new business-led platform for sharing successful working practices, has teamed up with hospitality firms including Fifteen Cornwall and Mother Ivey’s Bay and industry organisation Visit Cornwall to help companies.

With national statistics showing that firms operating across the sector have some of the lowest levels of productivity nationwide, the Cornish Be the Business pilot aims to help firms identify quick, simple and effective areas for improvement.
