The Liberation Group won three titles at the Publican Awards in London.
The brewery and pub group, which has 51 sites across the Channel Islands and south west England, won Best Accommodation Operator, Best Premium Food Offer and Best Managed Pub Company.
The Liberation Group - which includes Dix Neuf, the Thomas De La Rue and the Deerhound Inn - said the Publican Awards are considered to be the Oscars of the hospitality industry. They celebrate excellence in the pub and bar trade. Entrants include some of the best operators in the UK.
Jayson Perfect, the Liberation Group's Managing Director, Pubs & Inns, said: “It’s absolutely amazing. The team has worked extremely hard over the past couple of years. Walking away with three awards that we work so passionately hard for on a daily basis is phenomenal.
“Winning these prestigious accolades is such an honour and pays testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone in the business - from the teams at our pubs, head offices, breweries and distribution centres.
"Hopefully our success will shine a light on this fabulous industry and the incredible career paths we offer, encouraging those with a passion for people and hospitality to give it a try.”
Alice Bowyer, Head of Food at the Liberation Group, said: “We’re very proud of the innovation we’ve shown despite all the challenges we’ve faced in the past couple of years.
"Our teams work tirelessly to create dishes that embody what we, as a company, are all about – quality, taste and bringing people together.”
The glittering event was held at Evolution London and hosted by Top Gear presenter Paddy McGuinness. It was attended by a wide range of leading businesses who were recognised for outstanding work in the face of challenging circumstances.
Ed Bedington, who was a judge for the Awards, said "the team at the Liberation Group has done an amazing job across a range of categories and that’s reflected in their success".
"The Publican Awards are tough to win, both in the competition from other businesses and in the judging process itself. The Liberation Group should be rightly proud of their achievements and celebrate that success with its teams and customers.”
