Kuits NRB Top 50 Power List returns for 2025

The Kuits NRB Top 50 Northern Hospitality Power List is set to return for its 12th edition next year, with nominations now open. 

The list honours northern hospitality operators who have demonstrated exceptional commercial and critical success over the past 12 months. Winners will be chosen by a panel of top hospitality experts, with special achievement awards also set to be presented. 

The deadline for nominations is 8 November, with judging taking place on 14 November. The panel features top industry figures such as Sam Cresswell from Uber Eats, Mark Faulkner from NatWest and Karl Chessel, director of CGA by NIQ. 

The power list will be revealed on the first day of the Northern Restaurant and Bar (NRB) trade show in Manchester on 11 March, which will run alongside café and food-to-go event Lunch! NORTH. 

This year's winners included notable new entries such as Gilpin Hotel and Lake House, Schofield Brothers, Rockingham Group and Seven Bro7hers. 

Siobhan Thompson, event manager for NRB25, says: "We are thrilled to open nominations for the Kuits NRB Top 50 Hospitality Power List. [This] year's list was a testament to the innovation and resilience that defines the northern hospitality scene, and 2025 promises to be even more remarkable. 

"This is more than just a celebration of success – it's about shining a spotlight on the pioneers, the risk-takers and the visionaries who are shaping the future of our industry. We look forward to discovering the trailblazers who will lead Northern hospitality into its next chapter."
