Travelodge to create 250 hotel jobs

Travelodge is set to create 250 hotel jobs as it presses ahead with its expansion plans.

The chain has announced plans to open ten new hotels next year at a cost of £47 million.

Its plans will create hotel jobs in a range of towns and cities including London, Ipswich, Llanelli, Manchester and Edinburgh.

Commenting on the move, Paul Harvey, Travelodge's managing director of development, explained that the 2010 hotels will follow on from what has been a record year for expansion.

He said: "With 60 [contract] exchanges announced in 2009, we have now signed more hotels this year than ever before."

Earlier this month, the firm revealed that it is creating 150 hotel jobs across the UK.

The company is currently in the process of opening new hotels in Liverpool, Macclesfield, Newquay, Bournemouth, Edinburgh, Norwich and Farnborough at a total cost of £22 million.
