A major Scottish hotels chain could cut more than 1000 jobs due to the coronavirus.
Macdonald Hotels – which runs the Drumossie Hotel in Inverness and Macdonald Aviemore Resort along with nine other Scottish hotels – is reportedly looking at cutting 1800 jobs due to a fall in income.
It is understood consultation notices have been sent to its 2299 employees.
Group deputy chairman Gordon Fraser said: “We had really hoped to avoid this very unwelcome step, but with no realistic prospects of a return to anything like normal trading for the foreseeable future, we were simply left with no choice. Potentially, we are looking at around 1800 roles at risk, in all areas and at all levels of the business."
