When you think of a job in hospitality what are the first thoughts that pop into your head? Serving up tasty dishes? Pouring drinks behind a bar? Waiting on tables? We thought so! And you wouldn’t be wrong... There are however, many more job opportunities available than first come to mind.

Behind our amazing teams working face to face with guests in our bars and restaurants, we have a team of passionate people working hard behind the scenes to support the entire business and keep operations running tip-top. From HR, marketing and property, to IT and finance, there’s a whole host of exciting opportunities! So many so, that in the last 12 months, we could’ve filled two London double-decker buses with the 274 new corporate hires we’ve made!

So, if you like the idea of mixing your expertise with a passion for hospitality, a job at M&B’s headquarters may be the perfect fit for you!

Read on to see why now is an exciting time to bring your skills into the home of hospitality or jump straight to our chats with Kelly and Kelvin to hear about their experiences.
