We’re thrilled to share some truly exciting news - Danny Thompson, Director of Sales and Development at Grand Station, has been crowned 'Industry Leader' at the 2025 Hospitality Awards, organised by the UK Business Awards!
This isn’t just any accolade. The Industry Leader Award is one of the most prestigious honours in hospitality, recognising excellence across restaurants, bars, nightclubs, hotels, and event venues. With over 143,000 hospitality businesses in the UK, to have our very own Danny Thompson rise to the top is nothing short of phenomenal.
The award is judged by a panel of industry experts and celebrates outstanding leadership and innovation. Danny commented:
“It is an amazing achievement to win this award. There are so many fantastic hospitality businesses across the UK, so to be selected is incredibly humbling. At Grand Station, we’ve focused on evolving the business – with tailored packages for both cultural and corporate clients – which has helped us become both inclusive and resilient.”
Danny’s vision has played a key role in establishing Grand Station as one of the best corporate and wedding venues in Wolverhampton and the West Midlands.
Under his leadership, Grand Station has hosted over 300 events a year – including clients such as Amazon, Porsche, and Miss England – and recently earned titles like ‘Corporate Venue of the Year’ at the Prestige Awards and the only ‘Venue of Excellence’ in Staffordshire by Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine.
This award is a proud moment not just for Danny, but for the entire Grand Station team. It’s a celebration of hard work, ambition, and the drive to deliver exceptional experiences at one of the most unique wedding venues Wolverhampton has to offer.
