“Opening a new hotel is very stressful at any time but during a pandemic it goes up a good ten notches. However I am delighted to have built a fantastic team who are as passionate as me about delivering great customer service and together we have overcome the hurdles.
“Our multi-million Covid-19 safety programme, TravelodgeProtect+ which is designed to keep our customers and teams safe sits at the heart of our business and has been very well received by our customers.
“I am also super excited to develop my team (which includes lots of working parents), and give them the same opportunities that I was given of successfully climbing the career ladder and become hotel managers of the future.”
