We love creating opportunities for our teams to grow and explore new ideas 💡✨ Recently, our Supervisor Nikol from Las Iguanas Lakeside spent the day with our Group Marketing Director, Charlotte Dewhurst. With a background as a marketing graduate, Nikol was keen to learn more about how we bring our brand to life — and she did just that 🙌 From getting involved in campaigns to contributing to social media activity, Nikol brought enthusiasm, fresh thinking, and great energy to the day. It was fantastic to see her curiosity in action and to have her share her own ideas too 🚀 Days like these are so valuable — giving our teams the chance to learn, collaborate, and be inspired across different parts of the business 🤝 Thank you for your enthusiasm, Nikol — it was a pleasure spending time with you! 😊 #TeamDevelopment #Learning #Marketing #Opportunity

One of the biggest worries for our future and a key phrase on everybody's lips is "sustainability" or "climate change". With temperatures increasing, sea levels rising, and polar ice caps melting, the entire planet has to make a real change to offset these effects sooner rather than later. One organisation that has made huge strides to combat these effects is Carbon Neutral BritainTM. Their aim is to help offset CO2 emissions by planting trees across the country. Since their inception in 2020, they have already offset over 500,00 tonnes of CO2 and planted over 3 million trees, helping stop climate change in addition to providing habitats for endangered wildlife. We are absolutely delighted to announce that we have partnered with Carbon Neutral Britain to plant a tree for every new hire we make across our business, from our Support Centre, to Café Rouge, Las Iguanas, and Bella Italia!
