That’s one reason why the company has won so many awards, including Best Luxury Spa Group in Europe 2018 and AA Hotel Group of the Year 2016-17. Within the company are two distinct collectives - Thwaites Pubs and Brewery for which the company is most well known for, and luxury Hotels and Inns part of Daniel Thwaites that is made up of hand-picked properties that are bold in design, friendly in their service and unique in style. Despite it being a large company, with over 1,500 staff, each Daniel Thwaites location is individual in character and full of personality, so there is a distinct lack of a chain feel.

Staff pride themselves on providing the warmest of welcomes and an eye for quality, which is why business and leisure guests return time and time again. Daniel Thwaites rewards this with wide-ranging development opportunities and company perks – which makes it a great place to work as well as visit.
