As we close out the fourth quarter, market sentiment remains notably strong across several key sectors. Our Managing Director Luke Butler shares his insights.

​

• Pubs continue to outperform as the leading asset class in most regions, maintaining their position as a cornerstone of hospitality destination option.

• While there has been a noticeable decline in the volume of senior operational roles, particularly at the group executive level, demand for venue leadership remains resilient and robust. This suggests a continued emphasis on strong, on-the-ground management to drive performance at the venue level.

• HR and Finance roles are once again in high demand. We have seen a number of significant senior appointments in these areas throughout the quarter, reinforcing their critical strategic importance as businesses gear up for future growth.

Looking ahead, the outlook for FY26 is highly promising.

We remain optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead and are excited for what the new financial year will bring
