HIT Industry Award Winners

Each year the HIT Scotland community celebrates an individual who constantly goes above and beyond their normal job role within hospitality, and who is recognised as head and shoulders above his or her peer group.

HIT Future Leaders Award

In 2022, HIT Scotland announced a new award aimed at Future Leaders of the hospitality industry. The younger generation are already stepping up to the plate and this award recognises this, going to an individual who has demonstrated commitment to the industry, and is one to watch out for.
