Quote from the top...
So much of what we do at Hawksmoor boils down to how we go about trying to do a great job for two groups of people – our guests and our teams.  There’s no doubt in my mind that our continued success is built on how much time we spend trying to do those two things brilliantly and trying to run our company with real integrity.  Hospitality is a wonderful world to work in, and we’re proud to be considered one of the best employers in an industry that knows one fundamental truth … you have to look after your team, so they in turn can look after your guests.
