HOSPITALITY FINDER - THE JOURNEY
HOSPITALITY FINDER IS CURRENTLY THE FASTEST GROWING INDEPENDENT HOSPITALITY COMPANY
IN THE UK – A POSITION THAT’S BEEN WELL EARNED THROUGH THEIR PASSION AND DETERMINATION
TO SUCCEED. THEIR DEDICATION TO PROVIDING EXCLUSIVE HOSPITALITY FOR AN UNPARALLELED
SPECTRUM OF EVENTS HAS BEEN A KEY FACTOR IN THEIR RISE TO THE TOP OF THEIR FIELD.
The journey began 13 years ago
when Mike Dunderdale, a former
Sutton Valence School student,
returned from working overseas
with a vision to take the package
he had been previously selling
and elevate the level of service to
create the ultimate VIP
experience. “It was paramount to
create an experience that no one
else provided,” explains Mike.
“And this meant being close to
customers throughout their entire
journey – from enquiry to
booking, attending the event and
then post-event feedback.”
Mike decided to call upon
the experience of good friend and
fellow Kent businessman, Stuart
Hennell of Watch Finder to utilise
his working knowledge of the
digital selling world as it was
apparent to them both that this
was the way the sales world was

moving forward. Soon after,
Hospitality Finder was born.
Hospitality Finder have since
signed brand ambassadors Mike
Tindall MBE, Lawrence Dallaglio
OBE, and Sir Anthony McCoy
MBE to strengthen the existing
credibility of their offer – their
collective standing within the
sporting community is a stamp
of approval that Hospitality Finder
customers like to see when
booking and attending events.
Their brand ambassadors are
complemented by long-standing
staff members whose industry
knowledge is second to none,
and further enhanced by new
members of staff who contribute
with innovative ideas.
“The greatest fulfilment is
seeing the company and many
of the staff grow within the
business since its inception,” adds
