You don’t just see what Premier Inn is today. You help design what it will be next.

I’ve never known exactly what I wanted to do… Whitbread let me try things.

"You don’t know where you might end up."

We do Chef jobs a little differently at Whitbread

"Whitbread offers opportunity at scale, breadth and depth – and it’s an environment where your ambition can take you further than you might imagine."

"I applied for hundreds of grad schemes and didn’t get a single one. Most employers couldn’t see past the degree title. Whitbread did."

If there’s one thing I’d say to anyone considering a role here, it’s this: let your work do the talking. If you put the effort in, your work will be seen, recognised and rewarded.

"Our impact is very real. What we do shows up in performance, in the media and in how our guests experience Premier Inn."

I didn’t map this career out at 16. But I kept saying yes to opportunities, stayed curious, and didn’t assume progression had to look one specific way.

There’s an industry standard and then there’s a Whitbread standard. I’d say our high standards set us apart.

You don’t need a degree. I don’t have one. You just need the willingness to learn.

I know the programmes I’ve built work – I can see the results a year later on the WIN card.

I went from being a Kitchen Assistant to helping build the hotel of the future

That’s one of the highlights of working here - knowing that the work we do gets used by millions of people. What we build really matters for our guests.

The exposure to new skills, new departments and new ways of thinking really opened up a path for me in Tech. That secondment led to projects in payroll and other IT solutions, business analysis, business partnering, Tech Ops, infrastructure… wherever my interest went, the business backed me.

Whitbread is by far the best company I have worked for. I feel empowered and supported at every stage of my career. There is a sense of family within InfoSec; I haven’t been pigeon-holed and instead have been encouraged to broaden my horizons within the wider team.

You see it across the business: people move sites, take on new brands, even cross into hotels. That’s what keeps it exciting.

I feel lucky to still feel, all these years on, that same sense of belonging I felt at 16.

"This is a people business through and through. We reward our teams in ways that are unheard of in other companies."

“I didn’t come in as the finished article – and that’s kind of the point.”

“I walked in thinking it was just a part-time job.”

“Whatever you’re expecting, it will have evolved by the time you start."

If you’re coming into property or project management and wondering whether there’s room to grow here – even without a “traditional” background – I’m proof there is.
