Matt FordeHOST
I've sprayed too much of that now.
Jon RichardsonHOST
This would be a really good sort of long play gag if over the series of these video podcasts you go from like Premier Inn to Travelodge to Boarding House to Halfway House.
Jon RichardsonHOST
You stop shaving.
Jon RichardsonHOST
Oh, you
Nicole VaughanGUEST
And great real live example.
Nicole VaughanGUEST
So just literally six weeks ago, the CEO of Travelodge UK stepped down or resigned from her position as CEO.
Nicole VaughanGUEST
And she made BBC headlines, front page of the BBC in August.
Nicole VaughanGUEST
And she says in an interview from March of this year to the BBC interviewer.
Lorraine CopesGUEST
The second is that we brought together a leadership group.
Lorraine CopesGUEST
of senior leaders from hospitality groups such as Travelodge, to Hawksmoor, to Flatiron, to Molly's, to Hyatt Hotels, to Mitchells and Butler's.
Lorraine CopesGUEST
And we met as a collective group on a number of occasions throughout the year.
Lorraine CopesGUEST
And we basically brainstormed and put our heads together around where there are opportunities in the industry to be better.

Lorraine CopesGUEST
But we also acknowledge that whilst many businesses are on the journey, there's limited representation.
Lorraine CopesGUEST
currently in senior leadership teams within our industry, and it's really around how we get there.
Lorraine CopesGUEST
So using an example from the Better Hospitality report, Travelodge as an example, they have targets in place to increase representation because they recognize that until that representation is visible, They are making decisions sometimes in a vacuum because there is no one that's ethnically diverse sat on their board informing those decisions.
Lorraine CopesGUEST
So it really speaks to the importance of that in driving long-term change within the industry.

Matt BadcockHOST
The, uh, powers that be at the Non League Paper put me up in a lovely, uh, Travelodge, or it might've been a Premier Inn actually.

I think I went, "I've got Premier Inn," the, in the-
Jon CouchHOST
Nice
Gary McKelveyGUEST
... like we did down in Kidderminster.
Gary McKelveyGUEST
I went down there, and I lived in Kidderminster for, like, six months in a Travelodge opening that site.
Gary McKelveyGUEST
Trying to get that site to work well, embedding the, the culture and the people and the, and the clients.
Gary McKelveyGUEST
Uh, so again, put myself out to be away from home, to do the hard work, to, to try and make it a success.
Nooruddean ChoudryHOST
Yeah.
Justin MoorhouseHOST
Including, like if you stay in a Premier Inn or a Travelodge or, or an IHG, which is my normally, my choice of, uh, place, they'll normally say to you, um, "If you've forgotten anything just come down and we'll sort it out for you." Here, little box with everything you might have forgot-
Nooruddean ChoudryHOST
Oh, nice

Phil WalkerGUEST
Well, my co-founder and I, Jeff, uh, we met much earlier in our careers.
Phil WalkerGUEST
Uh, I joined the graduate scheme at Travelodge, uh, which is what brought me to, um, the Home Counties area.
Phil WalkerGUEST
And Jeff, perhaps not straight away, but was my boss at that point, early in my career, and we have stayed, uh, friends, good friends ever since.
Phil WalkerGUEST
Uh, I think recently we worked out that we've known each other for 20 years, uh, which was a milestone that we didn't expect to come up.
Anthony DonovanHOST
Um, lots to get into and lots I'd like to ask you about from a, from a financial perspective.
Phil WalkerGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Anthony DonovanHOST
But you, you just mentioned that obviously between Travelodge and, and now, there was a career before that.
Phil WalkerGUEST
There was.
Carl HutchinsonHOST
