Whitbread PLC

A proud history and a strong future.

You may not instantly recognise the name Whitbread, but you’ll certainly know our brands. Premier Inn, Beefeater, Brewers Fayre and Bar + Block are household names with a reputation for excellent service, value for money and a great guest experience.  With a history going back to 1742 it was our breweries and pubs we were famous for, but then in 2001 our focus was to become the hotel and restaurant hospitality business we are today with 36,000 talented colleagues who are passionate about making everyday experiences special for our millions of guests in the UK and overseas.

With 1,200 hotels and restaurants across the UK, Germany, and Middle East there is not doubt we are a hospitality force to be reckoned with.  We’ll bring the best out of you, give you the buzz you’re looking for and create moments that you’ll remember forever. All with a team you’ll love.

We value difference at Whitbread   - Come and be part of our ambition to be the most inclusive hospitality business.

At Whitbread we believe that embracing difference is not only the right the thing to do, it’s the smart thing.  Whether it’s our customers or teams, our company is all about people.   Diversity in people creates diversity of thought, and diversity of thought leads to new ways of thinking and doing.  So, we aren’t just accepting of difference, we value it and we welcome it with open arms.

We believe in no barriers to entry and no limits to ambition, no matter how you identify,and we aim to bring this to life through our commitments to diversity and inclusion (D&I) under our Force for Good strategy.
