Iconic brewery Joseph Holt has netted a prestigious award in recognition of the way it cares for its members of staff.
The 173 year-old company, which has been in the same family for six generations, has been given the National 2022 Staff Wellbeing award by the Licensed Trade Charity. Joseph Holt, which runs 127 pubs across the North West, clinched the gong in the section for companies with under 250 sites.
The award is given to the operator that has been most successful and shown the most ingenuity in making its workface aware of the work of the Licensed Trade Charity (LTC) which offers support and practical help for those who work in the hospitality industry.
Judges particularly liked the way Joseph Holt promoted the charity – from posters on staff notice boards monthly emails encouraging staff to contact the LTC if they needed support.
Paula Smith, Head of Marketing at LTC said: “Through our annual awards we recognise the people and companies that mirror our own core values and help us to help more people. Joseph Holt and the team that work there are a wonderful example of that.
Working with operators, like Joseph Holt, gives us a way to reach the large numbers of employees in their head office, brewery and throughout their pub estates and ultimately help more people. Their support is invaluable to our work to raise awareness.”
Richard Kershaw, Chief Executive from Joseph Holt added: “ Staff wellbeing is at the centre of what we do. And as well as the support we offer them directly it`s vital they should know about the LTC and the work it does. The brewery is thrilled to be recognised this way.
