Butcombe Group, a pub operator running several sites in Wiltshire, has received the Excellence in Workplace Wellbeing award at the Licensed Trade Charity (LTC) Awards 2026. The award was presented at the LTC Awards Dinner on 1 October and celebrates organisations in licensed hospitality creating healthier, more supportive working environments.
The award recognises Butcombe Group's 'people first' approach, with a wellbeing strategy shaped directly by employee feedback. Judges praised the group's focus on making mental health support accessible and part of everyday working life.
Key initiatives include a partnership with The Burnt Chef Project, an employee assistance programme, a wellbeing hub, trained mental health first aiders, financial wellbeing resources and the 'Returnity Leave' policy, which supports employees through significant life events.
Cat Moseley, chief experience officer at Butcombe Group, said: 'We're incredibly proud to receive this recognition from LTC. Creating a workplace where our people feel supported and able to thrive has always been a priority for us, and this award reflects our ongoing commitment to the team.'
Moseley added: 'Our wellbeing approach is centred on listening to our people and continually evolving the support we provide. Whether through mental health resources, wellbeing tools or policies that help people through important life moments, we're dedicated to building a culture where people know they're supported and valued every step of the way.'
The award also highlights Butcombe Group's long-standing support for the Licensed Trade Charity. In September, the group partnered with Hawkstone to launch Hops & Glory, a limited-edition English pale ale raising funds for the LTC and mental health charity Shout.
