We're pleased to announce that we have acquired Talent Funnel, subject to completion.

Talent Funnel is an Applicant Tracking System purpose-built for the UK hospitality sector, serving over 100 contracted organisations including The Ivy Collection, GAIL's Bakery, Itsu, Compass Group and Nightcap. It will sit in our Access Hospitality business.

Martin Verdon-Roe, Chief Commercial Officer, Access Hospitality F&B, said: "Talent Funnel is the right acquisition because it is the only ATS built natively for how hospitality operates. Every part of the product - the workflow, the AI capability, the data model - is set up for operators who hire at volume, on short cycles, and across multiple venues. The team has solved a genuinely hard vertical-specific problem and built real commercial momentum around it. We’re excited to bring Talent Funnel into the Access Hospitality, Food & Beverage portfolio and to support the next stage of its growth."

AI hasn't replaced Ancuta's job. It's made it better.

She's a Demand Marketing Manager at Access, and AI is now part of how she works every day — turning briefs and ideas that once took days into hours, and freeing up time for the thinking that really matters.

That's the kind of culture we're building at Access.

Six years ago, we started displaying graduate artwork from Loughborough University in our global headquarters. We're still doing it and this year's show is the best yet.

This year we purchased two pieces by award winner Lottie Hughes, whose large-scale paintings celebrate the people and moments that make life worth living. We're also displaying work by five other talented graduates from the School of Design and Creative Arts.

Proud to support the next generation of artists right here in Loughborough.
