My History with Country Village Inns
In 2011 I started working as a housekeeper at The Wheatsheaf in Ingleton, North Yorkshire. When the company expanded and became Country Village Inns, I worked my way up and became a General Manager. Even though I had some existing health conditions, the company supported me and gave me chance I never thought I would have. In 2017 I became physically disabled and had to step down from pub work, and yet rather than just let me go, CVI transferred me to the head office. I work there, as a designer and operations support, to this day. They have given me the chance to refocus my career and have valued me for what I can do, not judge me for what I can’t.
The company
From the Country Village Inns website:
“We are a small, developing family of individual Country Inns, combining exceptional food and hospitality with great value. Our ethos is to grow a portfolio of high quality country inns each of which will retain their own individual character and personality, but will be managed in accordance with our core values to provide a home from home environment within a traditional English country style.”
Country Village Inns now has six sites, in North Yorkshire and Cumbria, and has plans to keep expanding.
