Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Whitbread plc to a friend?
Yes
Why?
It is a very loving company to work for. Not only do they look after guests but also staff too. The past year has taught me that, especially when everyone was worried about their mental health and wages, they added to the furlough pay by topping it up and have given numbers and support
