In this session, we will hear from Stephanie Reith, Group Marketing Manager at Highland Coast Hotels, as she shares the business’s community‑led approach to hospitality and sustainable local investment.

Stephanie will outline Highland Coast Hotels’ people‑centric ethos, including their Hotels Community Rewards scheme, alongside wider community programmes that tackle social isolation, support local charities, and champion Highland suppliers.

By collaborating with local suppliers and building strong relationships with local customers, Highland Coast Hotels demonstrate how community focus can strengthen business resilience and productivity, even in uncertain times.

On the day we will also present the Purpose in Business Guide, a practical guide to support SMEs at every stage of their purpose journey.

Stephanie Reith is Group Marketing Manager at Highland Coast Hotels, a collection of community-led hotels across the North Highlands. Passionate about sustainable tourism, local collaboration and year-round rural economies, Stephanie has played a key role in shaping campaigns and initiatives that connect hospitality businesses more closely with the communities they serve.

Stephanie is excited to host this Peer Works session with Prosper, sharing honest insight into how community impact can become part of everyday business decision-making and not just a standalone initiative.
