Are Premier Inns struggling?
Premier Inn owner Whitbread has reported reduced revenue and profits in its half-year results but said strong progress had been achieved on its growth plan. The listed company reported statutory revenue of £1. August 2025, compared to £1. Premier Inn owner Whitbread is to cut 1,500 jobs as it closes restaurants and expands its hotel business. It plans to cut its number of branded restaurants by more than 200 in favour of building more hotel rooms. The job cuts, which are subject to consultation, will come from a total UK workforce of 37,000 employees.
