Always destined for the Alford-based family business, Daniel had been going down to his grandfather’s chicken farm since the age of three. “I was born into it basically,” he said. “My grandfather started the business and my father took it on after. I came into the business working as a boy all the way through to now. I was given options to do other things in life, but I have always had a passion for what I am doing.”
The Coaching Inn group operate the White Hart Hotel in Boston.
Meanwhile, The Coaching Inn Group has secured at the end of 2016 a £10 million investment to support a planned £50 million expansion across the UK.
Kevin Charity is the owner of the business which currently operates 12 coaching inns and will use the capital to increase the size of its portfolio to 25 properties by March 2019.
