BLANDFORD brewer Hall and Woodhouse has invested in a small business to support its mission to help it out. 

Poundbury-based Holidaymaker was created in 2020 and is an app created to drive revenue, boost brand loyalty and increase repeat business for hospitality brands. 

The founding aim of Holidaymaker was to develop technology that “revolutionises the way businesses in the sector connect with guests”.  

Anthony Woodhouse, chairman of the brewer, said: “We feel strongly about backing Dorset-based winners and enabling entrepreneurs to unlock their full potential.  

“Holidaymaker was an obvious investment for us as a business due to its work in the hospitality sector. 

“It is an exciting time to be working closely with Holidaymaker, as it looks to grow and push the boundaries of what can be achieved in the sector.  

“We are eager to see what learnings we can apply to our own business through this partnership.” 

Holidaymaker co-founder David Lakins said: “Having Hall and Woodhouse’s backing has provided us with the foundation to take the next steps to grow the business and expand our offering. 

“We are incredibly excited to have Anthony’s great insight, experience and guidance on the board, and his company (H&W) is the perfect match; sharing innovation, passion and culture.”
