Us

Crafted is a series of life-friendly hotels and spaceswhere guests can be themselves and fill up on the good stuff: nature, food,wellbeing, craft, people and play. We hope to open several hotels in the comingyears, with our first coming in summer 2025: Crafted at Powdermills, EastSussex.

More specifics will follow as planning and pieces fallinto place. So, for now, here’s the sentiment behind Crafted…

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by life. To switch toautopilot and go through the motions. We’re busy but not on the things we lovedoing, we spend more time on our phone, and we misplace our bounce andspark.

We all need a tune up now and again. To escape tosomewhere that makes us feel totally at ease. Not so we can step away fromlife, but so we can come back to it. This is where Crafted comes in.

Our aim is to create a network of connected destinationsthat people come back to again and again because it’s where they feel goodabout life. Somewhere to work on life, come together, and connect locally.

We hire people with personality who have a desire tocontinuously learn. Each person should bring themselves to work to shape ourculture and keep us real, interesting, and original.

To create a comfortable environment for all, guest andstaff, we prioritise teamwork over titles: no one’s too important to lend ahand, or to new to have a good opinion. We need low egos but high expectations:people who are humble enough to jump in, and serious about making an impact.

Three values we’ll expect you to live by:

• Enjoyit: it’s still work, but if you’re having fun then so are our guests. It’sok if you’re humming behind the bar or moving with the music.
• Ownit: whoever you are, and whatever your role, someone’s enjoyment is inyour hands. Always keep an eye out.
• Improveit: ask for feedback (and don’t be scared of what follows), and becurious. We’ll give you plenty of chances to learn and develop.

Note: positive Environmental, Social andGovernance (ESG) principles are integrated across these three values.
