ICRTouch CEO Colin Ringer Speaks to the Athletes at IWIGA Kit Presentation

ICRTouch is proud to become the Technology Partner to Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), a leading consumer organisation in the UK, founded by real ale enthusiasts in 1971. CAMRA runs a variety of campaigns to promote pubs, clubs, beer and cider to support the long-term sustainability of the hospitality industry.

The Government has announced a temporary reduction in the standard VAT rate of 20% to only 5% on certain children's meals, family attraction tickets and children's entertainment admissions between 25th June and 1st September 2026. The measure, introduced through HMRC's Revenue & Customs Brief 5 (2026), aims to help families manage the cost of summer activities while encouraging spending across the hospitality and leisure sectors.

This year's National Pub and Bar Awards marked ICRTouch's fourth consecutive year sponsoring the event, and, as always, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect with some of the biggest names in UK hospitality and celebrate the very best of the sector.
