With thanks to the Northampton Hilton in Collingtree today for a really interesting meeting with General Manager, Ahmet Donmez.
We discussed how lockdowns have affected the hotel, and how they have managed to scale back up over the summer. I heard what a huge boost furlough and rate reliefs were, and about the current problems with lack of HGV drivers creating supply chain problems. I was delighted to hear of their commitment to recruitment of apprentices and the Kick Start scheme.
We both agreed it would be fantastic to work together on a Jobs Fair for local people looking for work, and will be working on it together with the Hilton as the venue.
