Working With PREM
life with prem
At PREM Group, we believe in doing the right thing always.
This ethos operates on both a commercial and a human level. We have a practical, entrepreneurial spirit. We evolve and adapt, making smart commercial decisions that are performance-driven, yet we work with a higher purpose. We aspire to set industry standards. We want PREM Group to be synonymous with quality and innovation.
The PREM Group principle of doing the right thing trickles down through our organisations.
It means doing the right thing for stakeholders, for our people, for our clients, for the industry we love and ultimately for our guests.
We aim to recruit people who also value ‘doing the right thing’. This helps to create teams that are happy in their jobs, dedicated to the high standard of service and support one another. This also creates an environment whereby our team members can feel content and proud to work at PREM Group. We find that a positive working atmosphere translates into a positive guest experience, and ultimately this is our goal as professionals in the hospitality industry.
