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. They are a wildly eclectic bunch, from the architect who makes the drawings come to life, to the domestic team who make our hotel rooms feel like home. 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.
• We work together: Treat your colleagues like family. Support and respect each other, giving encouragement and taking guidance.
• Work hard: Strive to stand out from the crowd and enjoy being the best at what you do. It’s not just a job; it is an opportunity.
