Almost 100 jobs gone as luxury hotel enters liquidation
Some 92 jobs have been lost after Alex Cadwallader and Neil Bennett of Leonard Curtis were appointed as joint liquidators of Stapleford Park Limited.
Stapleford Park Limited traded the luxury hotel in Leicestershire which features 48 guest rooms and 500 acres of parkland surrounding a Grade I listed mansion.
Leonard Curtis said that despite efforts to reach profitability through “multiple hotel management partnerships” and “significant” investment from shareholders, the business was unable to generate the turnover required.
The company did not own the property and the future of the hotel remains uncertain at this stage.
Cadwallader said: “Our priority was to ensure the most orderly wind-down of trading possible. Significant efforts were made to communicate with and re-locate of the guests that were staying at the hotel, which was at approximately 50% occupancy.
“Leonard Curtis attended the site and worked closely with front of house staff to make this possible, and the wider group also met some essential costs to limit the impact on guests and future bookings. However we fully appreciate that some guests will have been adversely impacted.”
