A bit about us….
There are four brands under the Sawday’s umbrella. The first is the original Sawday’s, specialising in self-catering places, hotels, B&Bs and pubs with rooms. The second is Canopy & Stars, a collection of yurts, treehouses and other unusual spaces. The third is Paws & Stay, for accommodation with a dog-friendly focus. Finally, we have Crown & Canopy which is a glamping consultancy business. We have exciting plans for the future and expect to grow over the next 3 years!
The group is 52% employee-owned, with the rest made up of a Charitable Trust we established and the founding family. We’re proud to be B Corp certified and recognised by them as one of the top 5% of companies to work for in the world.
This role involves working across Sawday’s and Canopy & Stars.
