The Chester Grosvenor has been named ‘Business of the Year’ at the Cheshire Business Awards.

Held at Chester Cathedral, the hotel fought off tough competition from Travel Innovation Group and national travel business Sykes Holiday Cottages.

The Cheshire Business Awards welcomed some of the most respected businesses in the region, demonstrating the exceptionally high level of quality competition that Cheshire boasts.

The award itself recognises The Chester Grosvenor as an outstanding business demonstrating great vision, leadership and tangible results, with policies supporting staff development, engagement and satisfaction.

Recently, the hotel has launched a Champagne bar through a £350k redevelopment of La Brasserie.

In addition, Simon Radley at The Chester Grosvenor has been repeatedly recognised as one of the finest restaurants in the UK, getting placed in the ‘Top 50’ Good Food Guide 2019 and retaining its Michelin star.

General manager Richard Grove said: “We’re so proud to have been recognised as one of the best businesses in the region.

“We’re privileged to have such diverse, talented colleagues who thrive on a challenge and share a passion for The Chester Grosvenor brand. This accolade is testament to the tireless dedication and hard work of the team.”

The business boasts a significant number of team members who have grown and developed within the hotel, namely through the Simon Radley Kitchen Academy, which recruits 10 young and aspiring chefs on an apprenticeship scheme every year.

These talented chefs earn while they learn, working shoulder to shoulder with some of the best in business.
