A COMPANY which operates a hotel and restaurant in Conwy has taken steps to look after staff mental health. More than 40 members of the senior management team at the Coaching Inn Group, who look after 18 of the group’s hotels and inns - including The Castle in Conwy - have received accredited training to help deal with mental health issues. Chris Moores, head of HR, said: “The lockdown had been really tough for everyone, not least those in the hospitality sector who had faced extreme uncertainty. We put our team at The Castle and all our other hotels at the heart of our core business principles and making sure that we have mental health support available if needed at each of our inns reaffirms our commitment to support our people.
