Today in Leeds, something is about to stop people mid‑conversation.
Not a slide.
Not a stage moment.
But robots - turning everyday operations into a live, working example.
As part of the Climb Tour, our partnership with Hospitable Automation has been compelling because it shows what automation looks like when it’s designed to work in the flow of a real, live environment.
In Leeds today, this won’t be technology on display - it’ll be technology at work.
Robots serving drinks and keeping service moving smoothly
Floor‑cleaning robots quietly handling repetitive tasks in the background
Teams freed up to stay on the floor, engage guests, and focus on experience
Alongside that, advertising screens built into the robots themselves will turn everyday movement into moments of visibility and commercial opportunity.
This is automation that strengthens operations and supports teams - helping venues run better, move faster, and deliver more, without losing the human touch.
That’s exactly why it fits so naturally into the Climb Tour.
We’re not here to showcase shiny tech for the sake of it.
We’re here to spotlight practical ideas that help businesses grow sustainably and rethink how work gets done across hospitality, healthcare, education, manufacturing and beyond.
The conversations starting in Leeds today will show exactly why this matters.
And tomorrow, Sheffield (11 March) gets to experience it next.
If you’re joining us, take a closer look.
This is what growth looks like when technology stays human.
