Our Company: In 1985, Travelodge became the UK's first budget hotel brand when it opened its first hotel at Barton-under-Needwood. Today, we operate nearly 600 hotels across the UK, Ireland and Spain and annually welcome over 21 million guests. With a mission to provide affordable travel for everyone, we are currently looking to expand our UK hotel network and we have identified a further 300 locations where we would like to open a Travelodge hotel. Travelodge employs over 12,000 employees and is dedicated to its purpose of creating an environment where everyone can learn more, earn more and belong.
