Hi, we’re The Holland Group
We’re a multi-skilled lifestyle and hospitality group rooted in Dartmouth, South Devon.
Established in the 1970s, we know a thing or two about our industry and the local area - but we’re innovative and modern in our approach. Today, we operate two restaurants, a lifestyle café, an adventure-led retail store and bookings hub, alongside a portfolio of luxury and affordable apartments.
Our team is a mix of super-talented locals and ex-London hospitality professionals who’ve swapped city burnout for life by the coast. We actively invest in wellness, team culture, and career progression - and we take real pride in the quality of our product and the standards we set.
When we’re not smashing our targets, you’ll find us sea swimming, jumping in the sauna at Blackpool Sands, out on paddle boards, or sharing food and drinks at one of our regular team get-togethers. We care deeply about our people and are committed to building one of the most attractive hospitality workplaces in the area.
Ultimately, we believe in creating a better landscape for careers in South Devon - and we’re actively building it.
*BENEFITS*
Alongside a competitive hourly rate and a positive, supportive working environment, we offer:
* Discounted and free visits across our restaurants, café and accommodation.
* Free access to adventure bookings including SUP, kayaking, wild swimming, yoga and beach saunas.
* Huge discounts in our retail store.
* Relocation assistance where required.
* Tips, performance bonuses and progression opportunities.
* The chance to work closely with experienced hospitality leaders across food, beverage, operations and brand.
* A clear vision for our brands, culture and growth journey.
