Supporting the Local Community
Global Brands was founded in Chesterfield, with our founder and chairman Steve’s beginnings in hospitality stretching back to experience working at the local Red Lion Restaurant. Many of our employees and senior management call this corner of Derbyshire home; we’re proud of our roots in Chesterfield and strive to support our local community.
We host educational events at local schools, providing hospitality career and apprenticeship opportunities to areas with historically low levels of social mobility. Alongside this, we provide prizes and reduced hotel rates for local charities such as Ashgate Hospice and BrightLife, and support investment in our area through Destination Chesterfield.
