An increase in travel for both business and pleasure has seen the hospitality industry boom over the last two decades. With people travelling for work more frequently they rely on premium yet affordable hotel chains to provide comfort whilst they are away from home. Whereas those that are travelling for pleasure may be looking for added value and convenience to enhance their stay. To appeal to both customers, hotels need a comprehensive and well budgeted offering.

In 1987 Whitbread PLC, an already established hospitality business, merged two of their hotel chains to create the Premier Inn brand we know today. Focussed on delivering ‘the perfect stay’ their hotels appeal to those travelling for business and pleasure. They advertise prime locations in large cities, in house restaurants, comfortable beds and free Wi-Fi among other benefits all at affordable prices.

In addition to their amenities a key focus for their brand is availability. They have spent the last 25 years building up a portfolio of over 800 locations ensuring you will never be far from a Premier Inn available to offer ‘the perfect stay’. With so many locations it can be difficult to maintain continuity and quality of all fixtures in each facility.

Whitbread PLC were in need a of a reliable lighting supplier capable of dealing with high demand. It was also vital they had access to a vast product portfolio to suit their brand and assist their growth. With a diverse range of amenity lighting and market leading fire rated downlights, JCC were the ideal supplier to support Whitbread with their expanding business. By providing full support from our Project Specification team, including lighting consultation, design schemes and site visits, we have supported Whitbread’s national and global roll out program.
