His legacy includes co-founding the famed Hotel du Vin chain and championing sustainability in hotel operations, particularly through locally sourced food and eco-conscious practices at The Pig Hotels. The session comes at a pivotal moment, as Hutson and his wife Judy prepare to retire from their leadership roles at The Pig Hotels at the end of 2024. The Pig Hotels, celebrated for their farm-to-table dining and countryside retreats, have been a major success under their leadership, contributing to Hutson's status as a respected industry visionary.
