‘Worst chain’ Britannia Hotels cuts around a third of jobs as its losses near 10m

Britain’s ‘worst hotel chain’ Britannia Hotels cut almost a third of its employees as its losses neared £10m in its latest financial year.

New documents on Companies House show that the company cut the number of its employees from 2,740 to 1,765 and registered a pre-tax loss of £9.5m for the 12 months to March 31, 2021 – compared to a profit of £13.7m the previous year. Its turnover fell by more than 80m from £120.4m to £38.8m.

The hotel chain, that has multiple hotels around Merseyside including the Adelphi, was ranked as the worst in the UK for nine years in a row, according to a survey by Which?. Britannia has 61 hotels across the country but received an average customer score of only 49%, reports BusinessLive.
