Best Company
to work for

Mission Mars encourages its staff to speak up about their personal and professional goals.

The company which runs bars, restaurants, clubs, and music venues across the country, says it offers everyone the chance to fulfil their dreams and provides courses, as well as funding where possible, to develop its people.

Manchester-based Mission Mars asks that all employees have fun. They should be original, honest, and positive, use initiative and always think of others.

It is through these core principles that the company has gained a reputation for providing a great experience for its guests and being a great place to work. The wellbeing of team members is a top priority.

The company's ‘Yapster’ social media account is built around being able to contact anyone in the company about anything. It also works as a news feed that reports on what is happening within the organisation. It is programmed so that it can be set to notify staff only during work hours.

This has made a huge impact on all employees, especially as some sites are open late. Mission Mars's hospitality venues include Albert's Schloss, Rudy's Neapolitan Pizza, and Albert Hall in Manchester.

The Grade II-listed Wesleyan chapel in the city centre was restored by the company and now hosts live music and club nights. In the past 12 months, it has featured live shows from performers including Beck, Sam Smith, Primal Scream, and Manic Street Preachers.
