Jury’s Inn - An Example of Organic Growth

This BBC news article flags up that Jury’s has secured additional finance to support their expansion programme. These are challenging times for the UK hotel industry as recession has affected room occupancy rates from business and household customers. But Jury’s Inn has instigated an ambitious programme of new hotels - a strategy of internal or organic growth. urys said it would look at new developments in key markets such as London. It has already opened five new hotels across the UK this year.

New hotels have opened in Sheffield, Watford, Exeter, Swindon and Derby. Another hotel is due to open in Aberdeen later this year, with more to follow next year in Portsmouth, Glasgow, Newcastle and Bradford. A new hotel in Prague is due to open in September 2009. Jury’s Inn has traditionally placed itself in the affordable business hotel market segment.
