Last night hundreds of hoteliers, suppliers and key industry insiders raised their glasses to Jeremy Goring, CEO of The Goring who was awarded Independent Hotelier of the Year 2012, sponsored by The Independent Hotel Show. The actual award, an engraved Baccarat trophy, was presented by Rick Stein OBE - English chef, restaurateur, hotelier, cookery book author and television presenter.

Jeremy saw off stiff competition from a glittering cast of nominees to win The Independent Hotelier of the Year 2012. Nominated for his ability to inspire and innovate while bringing humour and a touch of eccentricity to The Goring to ensure that it is anything but boring, Jeremy has boldly invested in luxurious new facilities and has managed to combine “quintessentially English” tradition with some unexpected artistic touches.

On receiving his award Jeremy commented, "We at The Goring are over the moon to have been given this award. Running an independent hotel is so different from being part of a bigger organisation, because you live and die on your own successes and failures.  You have freedoms that aren't accorded in the big hotel chains, so you can deliver a much more individual experience - but that extra licence you are given, can lead to much bigger disasters too.  So it's really nice that a whole show is being dedicated to this sector. Thank you!"
