North East hospitality operator The Inn Collection group is set for huge growth, with the re-opening of 12 prime sites triggering a recruitment drive to fill almost 1,000 new roles.
The Newcastle based business has seen rapid growth since 2019 and is set to see its trading premises grow by almost a third this year, as refurbishment projects are completed in venues in Cumbria, Lancashire, North Wales, North Yorkshire and Tyne and Wear. The firm employs 900 people across its network of pubs with rooms properties and re-openings – at venues including The Swallow Falls Inn in North Wales and the Tynemouth Castle in North Tyneside – will see company grow its headcount to almost 2,000 people.
Some of the positions will be to assemble a team at Harrogate’s Hotel St George, where the company was been forced to announce redundancies following its acquisition. The company said that problems within the construction industry and supply chain impacted refurbishments at the site, leading The Inn Collection Group to make job cuts to secure the long-term future for the site.
