Back to latest news

The new Holiday Inn hotel on Telegraph Way, Winchester is to create 90 new, full and part-time jobs for local people.

General Manager Siobhan Thomasson and Sales Manager Linda Williams are now looking to fill a variety of positions including the key roles of head chef, operations manager and maintenance manager.

With progress on the brand new £16.5 million, 141-bed hotel remaining on schedule, Siobhan and Linda are keen to hear from those who want to work at the new four-star hotel.

Those who put themselves forward will have the chance to work in the UK’s first ‘new generation’ Holiday Inn, which is expected to attract tourists and business people from all over the world.

Siobhan said: “We are looking to provide employment for local people, who know and love the area. The hotel is going to be a really exciting place to work, with people travelling from all over the world to stay here.

“In uncertain economic times for such a well known brand like Holiday Inn to open a hotel in Winchester is great news and by providing jobs in the local area will further boost the local economy.

“What we’re looking for are people with great personalities as well as knowledge of Winchester and the surrounding area. It’s that local knowledge that will add to our guests’ experience.

“Those who think they have what it takes to work in a fast-paced, professional environment need to get in touch.”

Contemporary in design the hotel includes a double-height, glass-fronted reception within the atrium entrance and high quality slate flooring that will give guests the wow factor on arrival.

Other features include mood music that plays different music depending on the time of day and scents will drift throughout the hotel creating a calm ambience.
