My journey with Motel has been as fast and fun as the business itself. From applying to a Warehouse Operative role in a local newspaper 20 years ago to leading our UK operations today, Motel has never lost its family feel and commitment to brand integrity along the way.

What we stand for

Family feels
Our loose-knit community
At Motel, we are, quite literally in the case of our founders, family! This idea of being a community, rather than a workplace, sits central to Motel’s ethos.
Our small size means that when you join our family, you are a big part from day one. No little cogs or huge machines here!
Our hope is we can help everyone that joins our team discover their potential - both as individuals and as part of Motel.

Fierce fighters
Love for the long-run
Much has changed since Motel’s inception, with the company growing and evolving - going from the market stalls of Birmingham to the shores of Bali, and the world!
We are proud to say that during that time, one thing that hasn’t changed is some of our team. More than a few have been with us from the very beginning - over twenty years!
Motel’s story belongs to them, and all our people. We call them our fierce fighters because their passion and love drive Motel forward.

Listen, learn & grow
Fail together, succeed as one
“When Motel grows, I grow”
Motel only grows if its people do. If they fail, we fail - it’s as simple as that. We try to keep this attitude - of collective growth and development - central to our approach.
We like to think that this is why so many have stayed with us for so long; failing, growing and succeeding as one.
