Ayrshire bar and restaurant chain, Buzzworks Holdings sets out to make sure people feel great through hospitality — and that means customers, employees, and stakeholders.

Employees and customers are at the forefront of everyday decision making and are on a fixed agenda at weekly leadership meetings.

The business aims to ensure staff thrive in its fun and fast-paced environment and says that it's “when customers aren't looking is when the magic really happens".

It brings its teams together for social events, such as the annual party, and closes venues for wellbeing day. Its core values are "value every voice", "care with flair" and "grow forward together".

A quarterly check-in for all staff allows line managers to listen to employees, learn what training and development they require and focus on their welfare.

When working on company-wide initiatives, focus groups are used to gather the views of teams and shape the decisions made at a senior level.

Buzzworks also encourages its staff to grow and develop while working for the company and says it has "set the benchmark for hospitality training in Scotland.”

In 2021, Buzzworks introduced a weekly Core Value Award, which recognises staff that live its values. Nominations are made by the senior team and have become a popular way to ensure the values are alive in the business.

The company aims to be a world-class hospitality business with more than £50 million revenue by 2025, and be the best place to work in hospitality in the UK.
