Sharan Pasricha MBE, Founder & Co-CEO of Ennismore, said: “I am incredibly thrilled and humbled to be awarded an honour and to be recognised in this way – especially during The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

“I can’t begin to thank those who have been with me on this journey; from those who started with me at the beginning of Ennismore working in a broom cupboard at The Hoxton, Shoreditch, to those who have joined since and passionately continue our mission to build brands rooted in community – I share this recognition with each of them.

“Finally, I’d like to thank my family, especially my wife Eiesha, who has been by my side throughout; I couldn’t do what I do without her.”

Pasricha founded Ennismore in 2011 and under his leadership the business saw exponential growth, including the global expansion of The Hoxton across Europe and the US; the reinvention of Gleneagles, the iconic glorious playground in the Scottish Highlands, and the creation of Working From_ a shared community workspace.

In 2021, Pasricha entered into a joint venture with Accor to make Ennismore the world’s largest and fastest-growing global lifestyle hospitality company, bringing together 14 of the most highly recognised entrepreneurial and founder-built brands, representing 97 operating properties, a further 150 in the pipeline.

Pasricha has been included in Conde Nast Traveller’s ‘50 People Changing The Way We Travel’; The Caterer’s Top 100 Most Powerful People in Hospitality, and was awarded the Alumni GOLD (Graduate of the Last Decade) by his alma mater, London Business School, in 2018 – where he obtained his MBA. Before founding Ennismore, Pasricha’s career included the turnaround of a leading leather garment manufacturer in India, starting a media start-up focused on the UK student market, and a brief stint working in private equity.
