Economic Sustainability

Our economic growth and strong financial performance enable us to build sustainable supplier partnerships, deliver effective asset management for our owners, and create people-focused employment opportunities all while safeguarding long-term returns for our stakeholders

Supply Partnerships

The Rees Hotel endeavors to source its external supplies locally, wherever possible.

We are encouraging our suppliers to follow similar policies regarding environmental and social sustainability in their operations. Their commitment will have a strong influence on our decision to do business with them.

Sustainable Food Suppliers

After numerous tastings, we have sourced what we believe to be amongst the best examples of local quality produce from people who have a genuine passion for food. We are proud of the quality of produce within our region and are aware that buying locally supports the community and helps to reduce food miles. Half the battle of cooking great food is starting with a quality product and we believe that we have found many! We hope that you enjoy our research and maybe even use some of them yourself – please tell the suppliers that we sent you!
