With the clocks going back this Sunday, we wondered what our teams might do with an extra hour in their day!
We know our Maintenance teams will be putting the hour to good use, whizzing around the hotel and fixing all the clocks that definitely won’t change themselves!
Our friendly Guest Service Assistants will definitely use the time to finally finish the story they started telling a guest three shifts ago!
With an extra hour in the day, our busy chefs might finally get to enjoy a coffee while it’s still hot for once!
Our Leisure teams will plan to spend it in the gym (but actual spend it in the sauna 😉).
And Housekeeping? Hopefully they’ll enjoy a well-earned breather…after all, they can’t make the beds while you’re still in them!
