    "You don't know where you might end up." Meet Molly 👋   From Housekeeper ➡️ Receptionist ➡️ Paralegal ➡️ Trainee Solicitor 🚀   When Molly picked up a part-time job at Premier Inn while studying Law, she didn’t expect it to lead to a legal career. But at Whitbread, there's no limits to your ambition.    After five years of hard work and support from her managers, Molly is now on a training contract to become a Qualified Solicitor.   As Clare Thomas, General Counsel, said: "We are thrilled to be able to offer Molly the well-deserved opportunity to embark on a legal training contract with Whitbread. Molly's commitment to excellence, perseverance, and friendly nature have made her an invaluable asset to the team. We are incredibly proud of Molly and excited to support her as she embarks on this new phase of her career."   We caught up with Molly to find out about her career and what it means to her to be able to complete this qualification at Whitbread. 🎥👇   Well done, Molly!

    It's been Get Set Grow Week at Whitbread! 🪴 What does that mean? Well, across our Support Centre, it's our Learning at Work Week, where we provide opportunities for our team to support their personal and professional development. 📚 As part of this year's sessions, our Learning & Development and Customer Experience functions joined forces to bring a series of customer experience and insight focused sessions to our teams. With the support of our partners VERVE and Ipsos, our Premier Inn & Restaurants Insight Team delivered a range of sessions, providing an in-depth understanding of our guests and their needs. We believe everyone at Whitbread plays a key role in delivering a great experience to our guests and that this week's sessions provided our non-customer facing teams the opportunity to understand the value they add. 🫶🏽 A huge thank you to everyone who organised and delivered all our Learning at Work Week sessions. 💙 #LearningAtWork #PremierInn #GuestInsights #HospitalityIndustry

    "Well a big reason for me to come back to Whitbread was the sheer size of the investment in their Tech stack… We’re talking about several multi million pound projects to deliver - and I want to be part of that transformation here."   As a hospitality industry leader, we won't be offended if you haven't heard of #WhitbreadTech. But now's the time to get in the know. 🧐   Having just completed our multi-year upgrade to our new reservation system across over 900 hotels, we're driving further improvements to our digital networks and systems. 💻   The current tech investment is just one of the reasons Service Delivery Manager, Michael decided coming back to Whitbread was the right move for him.   And it's not just the tech we're investing in. It's our teams too. Hear about it from Michael 📲https://bit.ly/3TYro3g   Explore Whitbread Tech Roles 🧑🏾💻https://bit.ly/3BAvJ6u

    "I’ll tell you what the big difference between Premier Inn and the others was… the interview."    When we caught up with Roisin, Head Housekeeper at Premier Inn, to find out what made her choose the UK's most loved hotel brand as an employer, the answer was clear. 👆   Interviews can be daunting, there's no doubt about that, but especially when you've decided to step into a new industry.    👩💼Business dress, four-person panels and question after question to prove why you're the right fit for a company, were some of the additional stresses she experienced when interviewing for housekeeping roles at other hotel brands. ❌   However, when she turned up at Premier Inn, she got the warm welcome we’re known for - had an informal chat and a preview of the role. She was asked if she thought the role was right for her and knew immediately where she wanted to start her new career. 🫶🏽   🚀Two years on and she's now carrying out interviews for her own team and making sure everyone has the same welcoming experience as her. 💜   Read Roisin's full story here: https://bit.ly/3TRi69c   #ChangeYourStory

    🙏🏻 Thank you Manchester and the Annual Hospitality Conference (AHC) As the UK’s largest hotel operator it feels right that we're part of conference events that focus on our part of the hospitality market - the branded mid-scale and economy sector. AHC is one of them and we were active across the two day event in the conference hall, on the speaker programme and in fringe events across the city. We enjoyed seeing many faces we know and making connections with new people who who wanted to hear more on our expansion plans for Premier Inn the UK and Germany. Our thanks go out to the attendees in the Whitbread Property team and to Simon Ewins at Whitbread and Victoria Hills at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer for the insightful keynote interview. See you next year...with better brollies 🌧☔ 🌆 . #hotels #hospitality #growthbrand
