Who are we?

We’re one of the UK’s favourite premium chocolate brands, with a range of products spanning luxury gifts, alcohol, and our pioneering drinking chocolate system, the Velvetiser.

A cacao pod takes years to grow – it can’t be rushed if it’s going to be just right for our products. The same can be said for Hotel Chocolat, which originally started as a mint production company before we realised it was luxury chocolate that we were really passionate about.

Now, we’re market leaders in the industry. What began as an online-only business grew to over 140 stores across the UK, and we’re still growing. Today, we’re multi-category, multi-channel, and multi-territory, and our customers, colleagues, cacao farmers, and suppliers all benefit from the success we make together.

At Hotel Chocolat, we treat each other with respect, equality, and grace. Our mantra? Be brave. Be kind.

This People Pledge is underpinned by our values of Originality, Authenticity, and Ethics.

We encourage new ideas and fresh thinking and for each of you to bring your ORIGINALITY to work.

We want you to be your AUTHENTIC self – and feel comfortable to share your differences, and what makes you unique.

Our commitment to being an ETHICAL business means we have a deep sense of fairness when it comes to the way we treat one another.

This applies during our recruitment process too. We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer who positively celebrates a diverse and inclusive culture. We welcome people from all walks of life to join us, bringing their individuality to help us reach our ambitious growth plans. We believe this is critically important to help us create a place to work where everyone feels like they belong, can be themselves, and where all of our differences are celebrated.
