The Licensed Trade Charity (LTC) has announced the second winner of its Heart of Hospitality award. Tyler Spink, of the Eagle Tavern, Witney, is this month’s champion.
The award recognises people working in licensed hospitality who always go that extra mile to support their team, customers, and community. It has a long-term goal of raising awareness of the challenges faced by hospitality professionals and recognising it as a supportive industry.
Tyler was nominated by Hook Norton Brewery for his tireless effort in creating a positive work environment that prioritises staff training and development.
He took over running the Eagle Tavern, with his father Paul and brother Zak, five years ago, going above and beyond to make the pub a lively local favourite. Key to the great atmosphere is the positive working environment Tyler has nurtured.
With a real focus on training and developing his team, the Eagle Tavern has been recognised by Hook Norton Brewery and the Licensed Trade Charity as an employer that excels at supporting its staff at progressing in their careers. This has paid off through staff loyalty and an excellent rate of retention.
“We’d like to congratulate Tyler on his achievements at the Eagle Tavern,” said LTC chief executive Chris Welham. “His efforts in making the venue a great place to work and to make his pub a hub for the whole community are an incredible example for the whole sector.”
