01 Nov Realising Growth Plans for Premier Inn
Premier Inn has dynamic growth plans with the UK rooms now exceeding 74,000 rooms and a significant committed pipeline for future years and with potential to further extend their growth runway in the UK to 100,000 rooms. Ward Williams Associates (WWA) has been working with Premier Inn and parent company the Whitbread Group since 2015 to develop opportunities to grow their hotel portfolio across the UK.
As well as acquisition of new sites, Premier Inn has identified the potential to maximise growth opportunities at their current sites by extending existing hotels to accommodate more bedrooms.
