Crerar Hotels

Crerar Hotels are a hotel chain managed by Crerar Management Ltd.

History

The Cheshire Public House Trust Company was founded in 1902 by the fourth Albert Grey, 4th Earl Grey. His mission statement was: "to improve on standards offered by the average British inn, to offer value for money and to distribute a percentage of profits to charity".

The first trust to be set up was British Trust Hotels. Nine businessmen invested in this company and half the shareholding was settled in trust to ensure that a percentage of the profits were indeed distributed to charitable organisations.

Paddy Crerar joined North British Trust Group Ltd as a trainee and worked his way up the ranks; appointed Managing Director of British Trust Hotels in October 1999 and Group Managing Director (Chief Executive) of North British Trust Group in April 2003.

Paddy acquired a shareholding in NBTG Ltd early on. This later helped him take a controlling interest in the company which became Crerar Hotels following the sale of a number of properties to Swallow Hotels in August 2005.

Substantial charitable donantions ^[1] are still made by the British Hotels Trust, which owns shares in the business.
