More than 2,500 people lost their jobs when the firm’s umbrella company, Specialist Leisure Group, went into administration because of the Covid crisis in May 2020. The company previously ran the iconic Royal Hotel on Weymouth seafront. The Royal has since been taken over by independent hotel group, Bespoke Hotels. A total of 937 former staff at Shearings instructed employment lawyers at Simpson Millar to pursue legal action over their redundancies, claiming they were not consulted correctly.
