Company Overview
McMullen and Sons Ltd, the Family Brewer of Hertfordshire est 1827. Our Philosophy – is one word: Respect Respect for our customers, who are spending their hard-earned pounds with us. Respect for our staff, who entrust their working life and career aspirations to us. Respect for our tenants and pub operators, who commit to business relationships with us. Respect for our shareholders who invest, through good and bad times. The challenge, of course, is balancing the expectations of all the above. Customer expectations have changed dramatically throughout our history. When we were founded, less than 5% of the population had the right to vote in general elections, but now every customer has the opportunity to tell us, through numerous feedback processes what they expect and whether their expectations have been met. We are, and have always been, customer focused and as our customers’ needs have evolved so have we. This has allowed us to have survived, and indeed thrived, for nearly two centuries by listening to our customers and progressing with the times while remaining true to our values of providing passionate people and consistent quality, for the long term, at all times.
If your ambition is to build a career in a long established, successful family run business, where guests come first and quality is paramount, come and join us as a Head Chef. We’re independent, so believe in investing in the future and we love home-grown talent. We treat all our people like part of the family – you’ll be respected, trained, coached and encouraged to grow in confidence, to achieve more than you thought you were capable of.
