The firm said with staycations in the UK trending and set to stay, there had never been a better time to change careers or to start a new career within the UK hospitality sector.

It added that the hospitality and tourism sector was a key revenue generator for the UK’s broader economic and social success – delivering around £54bn in Gross Value Added to the UK economy, around three per cent of total UK economic output.

Craig Bonnar, Travelodge chief executive, said: “The start of a new year is a great opportunity to kick start a new career change and joining the UK hospitality sector can be the best decision that you make.
