We specialise in growing businesses, from independent hotels to conference venues and from small suppliers to trade associations. We are the hospitality marketing experts. This is a very exciting time to join our team. Our 16 years of experience and strong reputation within hospitality means we are in the enviable position to take on a bigger team and expand our portfolio worldwide. We are looking for a media and PR champion with a passion for identifying a story, developing hooks and creating impactful results for our clients.

We have two offices based in Central London and in Woking. This role is for our London office with two days a month in our Woking site.

- Transparency about our business and our goals every step of the way.
- Full day training sessions off-site learning everything from consumer behaviour insights through to crisis management. There's always a good spread for lunch too and a great excuse to enjoy a few drinks at the end of the day
- Invitations to industry events, from conferences and exhibitions to race days and garden parties, you'll love how much we support you getting out into industry and helping you to build your own network
- We regularly invest in tools, processes and systems to help you do your job, so no need to slog away if there is a quicker or easier solution out there - we'll find it together and fund it.
- Lots of regular feedback on work that's done well, always a team effort and always a spirited recognition for successes.
- You'll enjoy being part of a company that has an excellent reputation in the industry and companies who are keen to open their doors to chat with Custard. We work with who we love and love who we work with.

**Plus of course the usual...**
- Benchmarked salary
- Christmas closure
- Plenty of holiday entitlement
- Pension, of course
