About us

Scotsman Group is a collection of over 50 venues. Many of our venues are housed in listed buildings, carefully restored, expanded, refreshed and put to good use. We have restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, bars, cinemas, student accommodation and more.

One thing all our places have in common is our people – they work hard, often behind the scenes, and they are the best at what they do.

We are always growing and on the lookout for fresh talent, so if you've got it, bring it.

• We make our jobs our own: Our success relies on people being entrepreneurial and taking ownership of their role.
