Quorn Grange Hotel
1
We have invested heavily in our hotel. We do not owe a penny on it, though may have
to take loans if we proceed with the new build. All rooms have been refurbished, the bar
and lounge area has been refurbished. We want our guests and our union members to
have the very best food, rooms, and surroundings. The hotel generously gift aids the
GFTU Educational Trust.

The value of the hotel has increased since our ownership began and of course the
approach to staffing has been transformed, no more agency staff, no more zero hours
contract the living wage, union recognition, good terms and conditions and a new
pension scheme.

The hotel has been indispensable to many affiliates and saved them money and given
them a home from home as it were. We are delighted that 30 unions use the building
but there is no room for complacency. Please use your hotel encourage members to go
there for family events and benefit from our discounts.
