Henry Bennett named new director of finance at BII

The British Institute of Innkeeping (BII) has made Henry Bennett its new director of finance.

The 56-year-old joins the BII from the World Society for the Protection of Animals where he has been the director of finance & facilities for the past six years.

His early career saw him working for two FTSE-100 companies then running his own high-street accountancy practice providing business, accountancy and tax advice to small businesses, where he specialised in working with pubs.

Commenting on his appointment, Bennett said: "The licensed retail sector is very much in the public eye and BII as the professional body has much to contribute. 90% of what we do is below the waterline and we will be striving to raise standards and demonstrate the positive aspects of the sector, which provides hospitality and entertainment to millions of customers, career opportunities for thousands of owners, managers and staff, and contributes massively to the economy."
