Travelodge’s interim chief executive Craig Bonnar secures permanent role
Travelodge has appointed Craig Bonnar as its new chief executive, six months after former boss Peter Gowers stepped down.
Bonnar took the reins as interim boss at the start of the year having previously served as Travelodge’s chief operating officer since January 2017.
Gowers resigned last November following the conclusion of a dispute with its landlords over a company voluntary arrangement, and it lost 17 hotels to rivals.
However last week the budget hotel chain announced it will open 17 new hotels this year, creating 360 new jobs across the country, as it looks to capitalise on the boom in domestic tourism this year.
