This prestigious list celebrates organisations that go beyond intent, creating working environments where women are not only supported but encouraged to lead and succeed. The Doyle Collection has consistently demonstrated a people-first approach, cultivating a culture where all team members, regardless of gender, are valued and given the opportunity to flourish.

Alan Smullen, Head of People at The Doyle Collection, said: “Being named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women is a proud moment for us.

“It reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive, supportive environment where women can thrive and lead at every level. At The Doyle Collection, equity and empowerment remain at the heart of our culture.”

From its leadership to its local teams, The Doyle Collection embraces a clear and consistent focus on gender equity. The group’s Chairman, Bernie Gallagher – daughter of founder PV Doyle – continues to champion the advancement of women in hospitality and business. Under her leadership, the company has maintained a workplace environment where opportunity is matched with support, and leadership is rooted in inclusivity.

Each year on International Women’s Day, The Collection’s UK, Irish and US hotels host a signature initiative supporting women in business by offering complimentary professional headshots to guests. These images serve as valuable assets for personal branding across websites, press, LinkedIn, and social media. The initiative not only empowers women professionally but also contributes to a broader cause, raising support for a variety of charities.

Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work UK, said:

“This year’s UK Best Workplaces for Women list highlights organisations that are moving beyond good intentions and delivering real, measurable progress. These companies are dismantling outdated norms, prioritising women’s health and building clear, supported pathways to leadership.

“This recognition is driven by what matters most: the voices of women who work there. They’ve said, in their own words, that their workplace is one where they’re respected, empowered and able to succeed.

“Congratulations to The Doyle Collection for leading by example and showing what genuinely inclusive workplace can look like.”

With this latest recognition, The Doyle Collection strengthens its reputation as not just a leader in luxury hospitality but also an employer who truly values the people at the centre of everything they do.
