Our People

Meet the management

Whitbread's senior executives come from a range of diverse backgrounds, and it's their collective experience that helps guide Whitbread on its journey to becoming the best hospitality company that there is. Many of the team have been promoted from within, however we also have a number of people who have recently joined from outside the company, bringing their experience of a range of different work environments.
