Empowering people and businesses since 2000

Empowering people and businesses since 2000

2025 marks SilverDoor's 25th anniversary. To celebrate 25 years of SilverDoor, we reflect on the wonderful people and the many magical moments that have made us who we are today. Founded in 2000 by husband and wife, Marcus and Angie Angell, SilverDoor has since become a globally-renowned brand synonymous with trust, warmth, and innovation.

For our silver anniversary, join us on a walk down memory lane – from humble beginnings to huge successes and everything in between. Lots of things have changed but the fundamentals are always the same: putting people first and leading with the same vision to provide quality accommodation with honesty, integrity and care.

Thanks to all those who have contributed to our incredible journey so far, and here’s to many more years of sharing our successes.

Celebrating 25 years of honesty, integrity and care!

25 years of SilverDoor, one milestone at a time  

Take a walk down memory lane as we look back on the moments that shaped who we are today.

2002

What started as a two-person operation in Chiswick, West London, soon became a team of six, driven by a simple mission: to provide business travellers with exceptional service.

2005

Marcus wanted to create a brand that could be recognised globally, sound corporate, and evoke the feeling of entering a home or a safe environment. They rebranded to SilverDoor; as soon as Marcus and Angie saw the name, they knew it was 'the one'.
