Founded over 100 years ago, Hoburne and its sister company Burry and Knight have a rich heritage and remain a cherished family business, having transitioned to the fourth and fifth generation who continue to carry the responsibility for its success and prosperity to ensure its legacy is passed on to the generations to come. Professionally run, with a clear and robust governance structure, people are set at the heart of the business, and it is a highly respected name both within the holiday industry and as a local employer, with many long-serving staff members.
