Hospitality Action is searching for entrants for its annual "It’s a Knockout" charity fundraising event in London’s Holland Park.

This year’s event takes place on Thursday 10 May in Kensington, after last year’s team competition raised more than £18,000 to help hospitality workers in need.

First place in the competition was claimed by contract caterers BaxterStorey in 2006 and those up for the challenge and keen to enter a team for next month should call 020 7556 7756 or e-mail: astrid@hospitalityaction.org.uk or visit the Hospitality Action website.

Entry fees start from £700 per team or £5 per person to watch with access to the BBQ and refreshments.

Hospitality Action is a benevolent organisation offering assistance when required to the two million plus people employed in the UK hospitality sector.
