Exclusive Collection
Exclusive Collection, the UK’s 昀椀rst B Corp hotel company, is a
distinct portfolio of seven country house hotels, two spas, a
championship golf course, a cookery school, and a historic pub.
Established 40 years ago, the group takes pride in being
custodians of its historic buildings and estates – from Lainston
House’s colourful past to South Lodge, a favourite retreat of
Winston Churchill.
Judges liked the brand’s purpose to create ‘happiness in amazing
places”, its strong sustainability story and B Corp Status.
From an event perspective, Exclusive Collection has many FTSE100 names who are long-term repeat clients at its properties.
The group maintains strong client relationships through regular
face-to-face interactions at trade shows, an annual event for
agency partners and client direct programmes, Flock and Flair.
A peer-to-peer network for key clients and partners, Flock
members gain insights from sporting elites and business peers,
share best commercial practices, and interact candidly. Flair is a
network for senior PAs, EAs, and event bookers to connect, learn
and develop.
Exclusive Collection is big on supporting its own talent, as well as
promoting hospitality and events as an exciting and rewarding
career.
The group partners with event:decision to provide planners with
formalised processes to track their event’s carbon impact, and
Klimato to show the carbon footprint of each event menu dish.
Through OLIO, Exclusive redistributed 14,510 meals last year
across the collection to local communities and projects, saving
6,527kg of edible food from waste.
