* In 2018, Whitbread sold the Costa Coffee shop brand to the Coca-Cola Company. The figures for 2017/18 were therefore reinstated to reflect the number of employees in continuing operations, comparable with 2018/19. The figure for 2016/17 still includes people employed through Costa as it was still fully owned by Whitbread during this period.
Figures are for people employed through all Whitbread's business segments.
Figures from before 2024/25 were taken from previous reports.Â
