The Coach House Inn celebrates a decade of business #Blog
Taste Cheshire
18th September 2017
The Coach House Inn celebrated 10 years of service with a fabulous party earlier this month.
Customers and suppliers attended the event at the charming nineteenth century restaurant and hotel on Thursday 14th September.
The evening included a DJ, a speech from the Managing Director and a special prize giving for employee Debbie Martin who has worked for the restaurant since the day it opened!
Speaking about the event, Managing Director Les Owens said: “We are so delighted with the whole team tonight. This isn’t an easy business to be in, and to reach this milestone makes me incredibly proud. A lot has changed in Chester over the past ten years, and we’re privileged to be a part of such a vibrant and exciting city”.
Elisher Dean, General Manager, said “We’d like to thank everyone who has helped us celebrate this amazing achievement. Having starting here 8 years ago, it’s amazing to see how the business has grown and developed and I can’t wait to see what the next ten years hold!”
The Trustland Group took over the old Coach and Horses in 1997. With a background in construction, they used their refurbishment experience to transform the grade 2 listed building and give the hotel and restaurant a new lease of life. 10 years later, the business has gone from strength to strength and they’re now setting their sights on a new challenge of a completely different nature; raising £45,000 for local children’s hospice Claire House.
So far the fundraising efforts have included the Chester Half Marathon, skydiving, zip lining and Tough Mudder, as well as an optional round-up scheme on bills and a guilt free dessert which sees a portion of the proceeds going straight to the charity.
Their next fundraising idea could pip the lot however… Two Coach House managers have been selected via public donations to be covered in gunge later this month! That could be quite a sight!
Congratulations to all the team at the Coach House Inn for a fantastic achievement and for their wonderful fundraising efforts.
