The Tommy Banks Group, comprising of The Black Swan, Roots, Made In Oldstead and Banks Brothers, was named number 10 in the Best Places to Work In Hospitality, by The Caterer.

The awards celebrate those putting their people first. It highlights employers who demonstrate exceptional skill at employee engagement and those who have looked after their staff during some of the most challenging times in recent history.

What’s most special is that the list is decided by employees themselves, who fill out an anonymous survey about their company, which includes what’s important to them at work, and then scoring that criteria.

The rankings were unveiled at the end of The Caterer’s People Summit in May, where we saw ourselves reach number ten. This is poignant for us as we work incredibly hard to support our teams, who are the most important aspect of our business. Congratulations on our team for this fantastic effort.
