Manchester is surging ahead of London when it comes to the recovery of the hospitality sector, according to new data. Manchester trails only behind Glasgow and Birmingham in the UK’s top 10 cities, while London is currently 10th.
The capital has been considerably harder hit in its centre, particularly areas like the City of London, which have seen decimated footfall as workers have continued working from home rather than return to the office.
Manchester’s recovery in the sector comes after a staggering nine out of 10 hospitality businesses were forced to close due to lockdown restrictions. This figure was higher than any other reported in the UK.
