Hotel chain in major recruitment drive

Wednesday 28th July 2010

Budget hotel chain Travelodge has announced the imminent recruitment of 140 staff across the country due to its recent acquisition of 52 Innkeeper’s Lodges.

This acquisition is the UK hotel sector’s largest transaction since 2008 and Travelodge is now recruiting for 40 hotel managers and 100 entry level staff (receptionists, guest room cleaners and night porters).

All successful candidates will undertake a comprehensive four-week training programme and be trained on sleep matters so that they are fully equipped to ensure Travelodge customers get a good night’s sleep. All of Travelodge's employees have undergone a "Sleep Tight" customer training programme in line with its internal Sleep Manifesto. This includes staff training on sleep matters, new noise abatement policies and re-organised delivery times at hotels to ensure minimum sleep interruption for all customers.

Debbie Husband, Travelodge’s Regional Operations Director, said: "Travelodge is the UK’s fastest growing hotel chain and we are looking for enthusiastic, motivated and committed individuals to join our team. Our latest acquisition of 52 hotels offers a fantastic opportunity for individuals who are looking for a career in hospitality. At Travelodge we believe in developing our people and offer a variety of in-house training and career advancement programmes."

Despite remaining below the neutral 50.0 mark (a figure less than 50 indicates a contraction) for the 13th month running, the PMI moved further from February’s joint survey record low.
