Today is World Mental Health Day – and this year we’re protecting our own wellbeing and supporting others with the nationwide launch of Walk for Wellbeing. 💚

A huge good luck to everyone taking part today, whether you’re walking in your own location as part of Walk It Your Way, or joining us for the first hosted walk in Glasgow. 👟

And we’re just getting started, with walkers in Liverpool and York taking to the streets tomorrow. 👊

Most importantly, every step helps raise funds for , providing life-changing financial and emotional support to hospitality professionals and their families during times of crisis - from mental health challenges and sudden hardship to illness, homelessness, or addiction. 🚶

By fundraising, you’re not just taking a walk; you’re helping ensure no one in hospitality has to face life’s toughest moments alone.

It’s not too late to join. Walk for Wellbeing is taking place across the UK until Sunday 25 October.  “Walk It Your Way” in any location or join a hosted walk near you, find out more by visiting: www.walkforwellbeing.org

STOP SCROLLING NOW. ✋

We are currently managing several Chef de Partie opportunities in Birmingham.

What’s in it for you? 

👉Up to £36,000 + TRONC (£4,000)
👉Excellent career progression
👉Staff food 
👉Free parking or good transport links 

If you’re a CDP now, or a Senior Commis ready to step up, we’d love to hear from you and understand what it is you want from your hospitality career.

Knowing what makes you tick helps us find the right fit for you. That’s why everyone we work with has a thorough screening with us, including a video interview, before we put them forward for anything.

We’ve all worked in hospitality ourselves, so you’ll always get the honest picture.

Send us a message here, and a member of the team will call you for an informal chat.

👉👉 BIRMINGHAM AWARDS 👈👈

We’re (just a little bit) chuffed to share that Tonic Talent has been named a finalist in this year’s Birmingham Awards, in two categories: Small Business of the Year and, for our founder Conrad Brunton, Businessman of the Year.

Local awards mean so much to us. We built this business in Birmingham over nearly ten years, serving clients up and down the country while staying proudly rooted here. To be recognised in our own city, alongside so many businesses we admire, is something we don’t take lightly.

We’re a small team who came from hospitality ourselves, and everything we do beyond the day job - Midlands Hospitality Network, our work with Springboard, seven years of Walk for Wellbeing, supporting Hospitality Action, and the community - comes from wanting to give something back to the industry that shaped us and the local community.

And now for the ask. The public vote is open - the categories we’re in are seriously strong. We’re up against brilliant Birmingham businesses and people who’ve grafted every bit as hard as we have.

If Tonic has meant something to you over the years - if you’ve hired through us, been placed by us, come along to MHN, walked the Walk for Wellbeing with us, or worked alongside us anywhere across the industry, then we’d be hugely grateful for your vote. It takes less than a minute, and it would mean the world to us.

Let’s go!!! 🤞

* INTERNATIONAL DAY OF BIRMINGHAM *

Tonic works nationwide-England, Wales, Scotland-wherever the right chef or the right GM needs finding, but we have deep roots here in Birmingham.

This city’s got everything worth shouting about: the culture, the diversity, the arts, the green spaces, one of the best hospitality scenes going. We’re proud of it, and we don’t mind saying so from the rooftops.

This week’s International Day of Birmingham. It started a couple of years ago when Joe Lycett was made the Lord Mayor’s ambassador and set up a Treaty of Friendship with the other Birminghams across North America. It’s become an annual celebration since, run as a not-for-profit, this year raising money for the Lord Mayor’s Charity.

To celebrate, they’ve turned the Council House into ‘The House That Brum Built ‘. Ten rooms, food, music, art, film, poetry, comedy, history, the lot, and we’re planning on seeing every corner of it.

We’re absolutely buzzing for the next couple of days. See you in one of the rooms!

Happy International Day of Birmingham.

Our MD, Conrad Brunton, had a brilliant morning at UCB’s Inspire Conference yesterday, talking hospitality, tourism, aviation and events careers with a room full of Business School students at McIntyre House.

He was in the good company of Martin Clarke from West Midlands Growth Company and Julie Merrison from Invictus Games 2027, two people who know exactly what’s coming for this region.

“It’s always a privilege being asked back to UCB,” said Conrad. “Every time, I come away blown away by the calibre of people in there, some of the most engaged people I’ve ever met. The future coming through hospitality, tourism and events is properly inspiring.”

Today in 💥 - THE SECOND CITY STEPS UP AGAIN: BIRMINGHAM’S SEVEN YEARS OF WALK FOR WELLBEING

Birmingham hospitality workers set to walk 20km in support of Hospitality Action on Sunday the 25th of October

BIRMINGHAM — Tonic Talent, the Birmingham-based hospitality recruitment agency, is once again hosting the Birmingham leg of Walk for Wellbeing on Sunday the 25th of October, in support of Hospitality Action, the industry’s dedicated charity.

Now in its seventh consecutive year in Birmingham, the walk sees participants cover 20km along the city’s canal towpaths, parks and landmark views, starting and finishing at Albert’s Schloss in Paradise, Birmingham. More than 100 walkers are expected to take part, either individually or in teams.

Hospitality Action supports hospitality workers in crisis, providing emergency grocery grants, funeral costs, counselling, addiction recovery support and a 24/7 helpline. Since Walk for Wellbeing launched in 2020, the event has raised over £500,000 nationally for the charity.

The walk has grown considerably since it began as a small gathering of participants in London and Birmingham in 2020. This year it takes place across 15 locations nationwide, including three new additions: Hampshire, Suffolk and Devon. Last year alone, over 1,400 participants took part nationally, raising £170,000 for Hospitality Action.

For anyone who can’t make it to Birmingham on the day, Hospitality Action’s “Walk It Your Way” option lets people take on the route in their own time, any day between the 10th and the 25th of October, while still fundraising as part of the national event.

Conrad Brunton, founder and MD of Tonic Talent, said: “We’ve been hosting the Walk for Wellbeing in Birmingham for seven years now, and I couldn’t be prouder of the people who turn out year on year. Hospitality Action supports people in our industry when they need it most, and that’s why we’ll always back this charity. We’ve loved watching the walk grow year on year, and we’re hoping for even bigger numbers in 2026. One thing’s for certain: the people of Birmingham know how to really show up.”
