Blenheim Palace are a historical tourist attraction providing tours and experiences across their UNESCO world heritage site. The estate is the home to the 12th Duke of Marlborough and his family and was the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. The company's primary purpose is to be the driver of their local economy, to enhance the lives of the people of Oxfordshire and to conserve and protect it for future generations. Blenheim Palace aims to achieve their goals by continuing to follow their values. These are to be inspiring authentic, respectful and committed. Managing Director Dominic Hare is visible across the estate and welcomes questions from anyone. He is extremely hands on and never delegates communication as he sees this as an important part of being a leader. He also turns up to staff events and has breakfast with everyone on a Friday morning.
I feel proud to work for this organisation

My team is fun to work with
