The winners of the 2022 AHA (WA) Bankwest Hospitality Supplier Awards and new Legends of Hospitality have been revealed, celebrating those in WA’s hospitality industry who maintain an ongoing commitment to excellence.

Nearly 400 guests attended the Perth Airport Gala Dinner at Crown Perth, where the 2022 finalists and winners were celebrated in front of their peers.

Australian Hotels Association (WA) CEO Bradley Woods said while the hospitality industry faces a post-COVID recovery period ahead, there is a widespread acknowledgement that the sector is in a strong position.

“WA’s hotels and hospitality venues were able to navigate the challenges of the past two years largely because of the support and cooperation of their suppliers,” Mr Woods said.

“The Hospitality Supplier Awards are a way of acknowledging those suppliers who are committed to the ongoing pursuit of excellence, whether it be in respect to products, services, promotions or innovations.”

“We were proud to again reveal new Legends of Hospitality, which commend those publicans, hoteliers and restaurateurs who make an outstanding contribution to their industry and the community in which they operate.”

The 2022 Legends of Hospitality Inductees are:

  • John Parker
  • Richard Moodey
  • Mario Tolardo
  • Franco Tambasco
  • James Connolly

The 2022 Ross McGovern Hospitality Industry Achievement Award was presented to Rob Sambell.
