Budget accommodation chain Travelodge has announced a further round of expansion which will see the company create 350 new hotel jobs across many parts of the UK.

Travelodge will open 17 new hotels before the end of the year and will create an average of over 20 new full or part time jobs with each opening.

The expansion will come at a cost of £115 million and will see Travelodge offer a new or expanded presence in these anticipated locations:

• Bury St Edmunds

• Chippenham

• Edinburgh

• Glasgow

• Gosport

• Letchworth

• Liverpool

• London

• Marlow

• Rhyl

• Rochester

• Sittingbourne

• Solihull

• Swindon

• Walsall

• Winchester

The news comes just one month after Travelodge launched a recruitment drive for 3,000 UK students who want highly flexible hours.

Announcing the expansion plans, the Chief Executive Officer for Travelodge, Peter Gowers, said: “Despite the uncertainty facing the UK, the long-term prospects for low-cost hotels remain strong. The next phase of our expansion plan will see us deliver more choice in more places than ever before.”

“We've come a long way from our early days by the side of the motorway and today's Travelodge not only offers the same great value as always, but the extra choice of our new Travelodge Plus and SuperRoom concepts, ideal for those for who want just that little bit more.”

“Britain's travellers are changing. We expect more and increasingly we travel to a wider range of places. More and more of us are working away from home during the week, and we're taking more long weekends,” added Mr Gowers.
